THE KORAN.

I have been tempted to refer to the tenets
Of Mohammedanism before, for We began
to meet the followers OF the Prophet as soon
as we entered Asia, but 1t seemed more
appropriate to consider the subject In oon-
nection' with the high parsonage who com-
bines the authority Of o temporal ruler With
The dignity Of Caliph.
The Koran Is the book Of the law, and
the Moslem Is not permitted to doubt its
plenary inspiration. After Mohammsd an
nounced that he had been selected as a
messenger OF the Lord and commissioned
to preach he began giving out what he
declared to be revelations.
They read as commands to him to speak
and to SAY" His central idea was the
unity OF God and his special mission the
overthrow Of idolatry.
He ernphasized the resurrection Of the
body, and the. Koran is full Of promises to
the faithful and as full Of threats against
the infdel. In the Koran God Ia quoted as
promising: For those who are devout are
prepared with their Lord gardens through
which rivers flow; therein shall they oon-
tinue forever: and they shall enjoy wives
free from impurity, and the favor OF God.
For the infdel, which includes all who do
not accept the Prophet. the following pun
ishment is threatened: verify, those who
disbelieve our signs We will surely cast to
be broiled In hell fire; 90 often az their skin
shs!! be vel! burned We will give them
other skins In exchange, that they may
taste the sharper punishment; for God Is
mighty and WISE
MoHAMMEp's R~EvELATroNs.
Through the Koran be not only credited
God with the creation and with a care for
all the wants OF man, but he also declared
that God deceived and misled some, while
he guided others Alright. In n revelation
he makes God say: 'Tbey who accuse our
signs OF falsehood are deaf and dumb,
walking In darkness: God will lead into
error whom he pleaseth, and whom he pleas
eth be will put In the right way
He accepted the Old Testament and
counted Christ among the prophets In
one OF tho revelations he declares hat he
LIS commanded to say: We believe In God
and that which has been sent down unto
us, and that which hath been sent down
unto Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and
Jacob and the tribes, and that which was
delivered unto Moses and Jesus. and that
which vas delivered unto the prophets
from their Lord: We mako no distinction

East. 1t may seem a little i~ncongruous that
30 many swords and muskets should be
brought into requisition at a religious
function, but 1t must be remembered that
Mohammsdanism recognizes the sword as
a legitimate agency In the spread Of its
creed,

especial attention to amount ex-

we think is exccession owing to
small number of convicts. We
figure each convict cost county

on them to be worth SOC per day

this kind receipted bill from

We find that the Surveyors

examined, therefore we take no
action in the matter.
We wish to extend our sincere
thanks and regard to the Hon. J.
H. Martin for his able aud explic-
it charge and for his kindness to
US during the present term, and
for the fearless and impartial
manner Ia which he has so rapid
ly disposed of the cases on rec
ord. Never before nthe history
of Irwin Superior Court, has
there been less business to tran
sact. The records show that
when he became e Judge that the
dockets, both Civil and Grim min.
al we're practically full and now
there are but very few cases un-
disposed Of. We expressly wish
to com mend the christian way in
which he opens court, and the
and the way he shows severity to
the strong and kindness to the
weak.
| We commend him for express
ing his intention of holding an
| adjourned term of court, to try
| the iail cases that could not be
disposed of at this court, and we
urge him to hold this term as
soon as convenient for him. The
carrying out of such intention
would doubtless prove to be both
beneficial and satisfactory to the
citizens of Irwin County.
We appoint the following COM
mittee to examine the various
books of the county R. V. Paulk
and H. L. Yarboraugh and that
they be paid $500 per day for
work..
We unanimously recomend
that the people of the state rati-

WHEELER's COMMENT.

Wheat: The advance was on general
covering Of wheat put out the past
month ON scale down.. The cash de-
mand is no better aud the conditions
surrounding the new crop could not be
improved upon. Run1ors of an improved
export demand and buying in north
western markets against such sales were
hard to confirm. The sea-board re-
ported a slack demand and it is claimed
that Manitoba, the cheapest wheat offer
ing, is cent from a working basis. The
relative, strength at Minneapolis and
Winnipeg had a beneficial effect here
early. Liverpool was firm, closing,
higher. We see nothing in the situa-
tion to change our opinion, unless the
demand improves or crop prospects
change for the worse, prices will go low

Kelly found that in eighteen months
Dr. Joseph II 'Henninger had spent $2o,-
600 and that in two months passed in
New York he separated himself from
$1,000 to So, 500. The expression OF the
master was made in the hearing OF the
charge that the dentist did not provide
for his wife. DIR. Henninger recently
was sued for divorce and the accusa-
