About thirty women made demonstra-

Granville the very favorable develop
ments that have so far resulted from
working the Cheatham gold mine have
surpassed the most sanguine expecta'

In Northern Granville is situated the
well known Gilliss and other copper
mines. Half a century ago Prof. Gilliss,
a geolOgist of considerable reputation
predicted that a rich remunertiOn OF
valuable copper would result from the
proper working of these mines. The
inaccessibility to market and the low
price of copper heretofore hindered the
proper development of these mines. A
wealthy Northern syndicate having pur-
chased and expended a large outlay of
capital have already shipped forty car
loads of copper from the Gillis mine.
Capitalists frequent these mines with a
view of investing. Several hundred la
borers are now employed in working the
mines. ,.fsesa, aff .3 Ina tra1l

The Influence OF Persia.

To understand the relation Of Mussul-
man rule to religious and intellectual
freedom we must note the influence Of
the CONQUEST Of Persia OH the Arab
mind. When the invaders took the cap
ital city of Khosru, they did not know
the value of booty. Some offered to ex-
change gold for silver, and others mis-
took camphor for sulphur. They came
like swarms Of half starved locusts to
devour the land. They were banditti OF
the desert, with no culture but tho In
spiration Of the clans. The only idea OF
government In these tribes was the
leadership Of age and valor, as repre-
scented in the sheik, with natural mix
ture of hereditary respect On the death
of Mohammed they broke into rebellion.
Islam really csme on the world like
fierce descent Of desert clans on their foes
Mohammed's ideal Of government
was lust TO send his governors through
Arabia to establish ISLAM and then to
collect tribute from the poor in camels
and sheep; also as plumber to meet tbe
EXPENSE of his campaign. Under these
circumstances it was an absolute neces-
sity for the founders Of the Mussulman
empire in the east to adopt in the main
the financial and administrative expert
ence of their more cultured subjects
Arabic names, customs, language, rites,
penetrated the empire, but under their
external forms appeared the native
ideas and methods. Persians were the
leaders and shapers Of Islamic culture.
The simple Arabs learned OF these

nations, music, architecture, sculpture,
philosophy, wine and fine apparel. Per-
slams were the real founders and teach.
