GOVERNMENT CHEATED Senator Lewis Claims That Govern ment is Cheated Out of 300 Millions Income Taxes. Washington, Aug. 22. Charges that the government has been defrauded out of $300,000,000 in income taxes evaded by the wealthy were made in the Senate today by Senator Lewis of Illinois, who declared the treasury department had the proofs. 1 Senator Lewis was speaking in sup port of Senator Gerry's amendment to the war tax bill to greatly increase taxes on great incomes. "There has been inconceivable in genious lying on the income tax schedules Before the finance commit tee that would in other forums, sub ject those responsible to perjury," said he. In the treasury department at this hour is proof of $300,000,000 swindled out of the government by fraud, per jury, deception and other different forms of commercial trickery on the income tax returns. If it had not been for a certain set of men, who prating loudly about patriotism and crying for war there would have been no necessity for levying the heavy burdens of this bill. Senator Lewis also said that had this set of very wealthy men shown fidelity and honesty in making their income tax returns, the government would in past years have had ample funds for preparedness. THE UNION PATRIOTIC Prominent Farmers Union Man Dis likes Attitude of President Alexan der in Time of War. To the Editor of The Star: Our regular quarterly Farmers Union meeting came off Thursday and we had with us our president, Dr. Alexander who made a good talk in so far as he gave advice as to the duties of the Farmers Union, but in the wind up, be swung off into con demning the acts of Congress and the injustice of the selective draft which the best informed and law abiding element resent in so far as he abus ed our government. We want it dis tinctly understood that the best ele ment of the Farmers Union in Cleve land county is going to stand by the administration and Woodrow Wilson. Dr. Alexander advised the people to stand by the law, but what is the dif ference in violating or using lan guage calculated to influence the pas sions of others which would make it irksome for others to abide by the law. We fail to see the consistency in the doctor's position. He seems to be laboring under symptom of hallucination of the brain. Now i are informed by our ex-president of our county Union who is now a resi dent of Rutherford county who heard him in his abuse of our presi dent accusing him of being in league with the bankers in regard to the financial position he has taken in re gard to the Federal Reserve act and the Farmers Loan Association. Now the doctor is not so ignorant but that he knows that laws enacted in regard to our financial system have been more in the interest of the poor far mer than all presidents since Wash ington and no one knows this better than Dr. Alexander. What is the matter with him? He rather has the ear marks of a straddler. No man dreads war more than I do and hates to see our boys go into it, but we must abide by the laws of the .land and since the war has come and jwe are in it, we must come out vic- torous Dy all means, lhe better we stand together, the sooner it will be over. It is'not now the time to be quarreling . among ourselves. There are only two ways to get out, one is to fight out, another is to run out, Which shall we do? We must be loyal to our gornment. A dyed in the wool member of the Farmers' Union. A Proclamation by the Governor North Carolina is about to send .twenty-five thousand men into battle. These men are making the surieme sacrifice that forever hereafter the .wisdom of the many shall determine ,the decrees of nations. They go to make war on war. They go to de stroy with the sword the government that maintains that the sword is, ami ,of right ought to be, the final arbiter of a nation's rights, j When the government that defies I war shall perish in war then war will come no more upon the earth, f It is fit that these guarantors of the world's peace should be sustain ed by the love and" prayers of all good men: Now, Thsfefore, I, Thomas Walter Biekett, Governor of North Carolina, do request the people of the State: First, to assemble on Saturday, the first day of September, in township and school district meetings, and hold patriotic exercise in honor of the men we are sending to the front; Second, on Sunday, September 2, let special' religious services be held in all the churches in the State, and let all good menjray for the safety and success of the men who are go ing into battle that lasting peace may come upon the land; Third, That on Labor Day, Septem ber 3rd, appropriate patriotic exer cises be held in every county seat in the State and let the men who have been drafted into the public service be the guests of honor at these exer ciss. Done at our city of Raleigh this the twenty-fifth day of August, in the year of our Jxird one thousand nine hundred and seventeen, and in the one hundred and forty-second year of our American Independence.

GREAT CROWD AT PATRIOTIC MEET ESTIMATED ATTENDANCE WAS 1,500 ROUSING SPEECHES BY FIVE BRILLIANT SPEAKERS COMFORT BAGS AND 'SUPPER FOR SOLDIERS. About 1,500 people attended the pat riotic rally on the court square Sat urday night when an appropriate pro gram was rendered, after a bountiful feed to the soldiers, supper being served by the ladies of Shelby. The boys were so well fed that the water melon cut was postponed until yes terday. Judge J. L. Webb presided and the speaking was done from a platform erected in front of the Con- jfederate monument where red, white j and blue and large American flags were in evidence. Judge Webb re- lerreu to tne lact tnat Delore war was declared there was, time for dis cussion and opposition to the war, but since the President and Congress, the official represenatives of the people, jhad seen fit to uphold the nation's honor, the chapter is written and it behooves every man to stand by the flag and be loyal and patriotic to the last degree. He introduced Congress man E. Y. Webb who said that the constitution is the rule and guide of this free people; that the president is the commander-in-chief of the army and navy and that Congress is invest ed with the power to declare war and was opposed to war and voted against the ieclaration, he thought he was re presenting the sentiment of his con stituency and most certainly was voicing the conviction of his own conscience, bince the majority Congress had seen fit to declare war, he has closed his mouth and stood by the administration in doing every thing possible to bring the conflict to a successful termination. ' So ne pleaded that there bs no shirking of our duty to our country but go ahead and discuss the right and wrong of the war after it is over. He express- iwltnin llse11- 10 ine cia89 01 mT ed the hope that none of the soldiers in T- Fflls was awarded the banner for his hearing would ever head the whiz ,ino percentage oi increase of a bullet. He referred to what idurm& the co.ntest- T Mr- falls fas Congress has done for the comfort awarded a crisp $25 bill to defray his and protection of our soldiers at expenses next Summer to the Bap camps and hoped that the boys would Seaslde Assembly at Wrights shed glory and honor on the flag and i "ville. i themselves. Hon r R Hnov. nssUw. district attorney said we are standing by the Cleveland Springs, after which a bas flag that has never dipped before any ke dinner will be served. The Sun - t u n. iiuJ eto v,o entered this war with no malice, idea of conquest, no disposition FIG of aggression. IWe will drive Prussian ism, her brutality and diabolical meanness forever from this earth. To thf snlifiprs hp snid a nohle death is nreferable to an hrnoble life and our r nation will be refined by suffering and sanctified by the sacrifices we will make. MJx Gardner said this nation is the beacon light of liberty. We must re new our devoion to the flag because there never was a time when to be an American means so much. If you can't support this flag my admonition to you is to keep your mouth shut. The Kaiser's hand is dripping with blood from his murderous attacks up on helpless women and children and when the United States emerges from this war, his outrages will have been stopped and peace will have been es tablished between nations. Then, Mr. Gardner presented the "comforf'bags made "by the ladies of Shelby. These bags are for the soldiers and contain tailet articles which they will find of use when in camp. Into them the ladies have poured the deepest af fection and tenderest love. Dr. J. E. White said: we stand in the shadow of a monument representing the bravest men the world has ever seen and these boys who go forth t" battle for liberty and humanity and justice are admonished to foilow the sdendid example set by our fore fathers. Mr. White said there is not room enough in America for a dis loyal citizen. With one mind and one heartr we should aipport the war and bring it to a successful end. We haven't been rushed into war. It wis after due deliberation and prayerful consideration. Our entrance will ha- ten the end and will bind up the! wounds the war has made and will make. Said he, "I have dedicated three sons to our country's call and if they shed their blood on foreign soil, IT go, if God lets me live, kneel be sidb their graves and thank God that they died for the cause of humanity," Col. J. T. Gardner surpassed him self as a speaker. For 27 years he has been identified with the city's ad ministration and before him stood the trees that were set out during his first adminisration and behind him ran the paved streets and shone the elecrtic lights that were given to the town during his last administration. He ,was proud to claim Shelby as the best town m the world, it nas oeen nis policy if he couldn't ay something good tbout a person not to say any thing. He assured the anxious moth ers and fathers of the boys under his command that they would receive good care and would be required to write home often. Loved ones were asked not: to write discouraging let- if rs 10 me ooys dui cneertui news from "back home." As to the dang- , er to be encountered he referred to the fact that only five per cent of those engaged in battle are killed and 92 per cent of the wounded recover. Three times has Col. Gardner bid farewell to Shelby in going off to war and during this time only three Cleveland men in his command have died. His regiment wjl be composed of 3,600 men und he assuredWiis hear ers that every precaution wtt be tak en to safeguard their lives and health, wherever they might be called. Rev. Lee White opened the exercis es with prayer, while Rev. C. A. Wood closed the rally with a beauti ful prayer. Mr. Jelks who lead the singing rendered two solos and his choir sang "My Country 'Tis of Thee" and "America." Mrs. White presided at the piano. I MEETING CLOSES Forty " One Additions to Baptist Church as Result of Meeting Sunday School Picnic Next Sunday. As a result of the meeting at the First Baptist church which closed Sunday night after a run of two weeks, there were 41 accessions to the church, bringing the enrollment up to 600. Six additions were by letter and 35 on profession of faith. The meeting was conducted by Dr. Lee White of Miami, Fla., assisted by the evangelist singer, Mr. James Jelks of i Macon, Ga. The attendance was the lnrcrpflt nf- nrw mootini, tintil of tVto baptist church here and the spiritual good wrought by Dr. White and his excellent singer would have been well worth while had there not been a 'single accession to the church roll. lhe &unday bchool attendance Sun- morning was 467, twenty more , wVn. ,,lu wus " vra INext unaay lne suno.iiy scnoci and mornine sermon will be hew at aay acnooi anu cnurcn tuieouaiui rllt rm mif in antnmnKiloa I V ill Mr. Decker in New Jersey Our popular paint artist Walter S.
