With wind, and cloud, and changing skies/* March is from the Latin and French word martlus, belonging to Mars, the god of war—hento tempestuous, violent, rough. Authorities tell us that March was the first month in the early Ro man calendar, and It also marked the commencement of the year among some of the Latin Christian nations till the eighteenth century. The Eng lish legal year began Murch 2a until the change of style in 1752. There Is nn old English and Scottish proverb: "March borrows three days of April, and they are 111.” "The first, it shall be wln-d and weet: The next. It shall be snaw and sleet; The third, it shall be sic a freeze, Sail gar the birds stick to the trees.” It is disputed whether these "bor rowing days” were the last' three In March or the first three in April. Dr. Jamieson explains that when they were stormy March was said to borrow them from April that ho might extend his power so much longer. March is a month of more or less importance. It is the first month of spring. The vernal equlvox comes on the 21st instant. The 29th will be Good Friday and the 31st will be Eas ter Sunday. There are no legal holi days In Georgia this month, but in the Slates of Alabama, Delaware. Florida. Louisiana, Maryland. Pennsylvania and One hundred and twenty-nine years ago. in 1773, Robert Emmet was born in Dublin, and on September 20. 1803 he was hanged in the same city, being only 25 years old. He attended Trini ty College, where he gained high hon ors. but was expelled for declarin himself a Republican. Emmet was as eloquent as he was dauntless and pa triotic. lie joined the association of United Irishmen, whose object was to separate Ireland from Great Britain and to establish an independent re public. He was connected with the unsuccessful rebellion of 179S. escap ed to France, and went to Switzer land. In 1S02 he returned secretly to Dublin, reorganized his forces, for an other blow In behalf of the freedom of Ireland, and fixed upon July 23, 1803, as the time to seize the castles and arsenals of Dublin. On the evening if that day there was a disturbance, in to state the rights of the colonists an address was issued, and in March, 1773, , definite measures were undertaken for which Chief Justice Kilwarden, who a political union of the colonies, which ; was passing by in his carriage, was led to the formation of the Continental . killed.

My lords, you seem impatient for the sacrifice: the blood for which you thirst is not congealed by the artificial terrors which surround your victim; It circules • warmly and unruffled through the channels which God cre ated for nobier purposes, but which you are bent to destroy for purposes so grievous that they cry to Heaven. Be ye patient! I have but a few words more to say. I am going to my cold and silent grave: my lamp of life is nearly extinguished; my race is run; the grave opens to receive me, and I sink into its bosom. I have but one request to ask at my departure from this world—it is the charity of its si lence.

Now. the value of land, as of every other investment, is determined wholly by the income. The great impoverishment of the South was due wholly to the complete dis organization of the labor as a neces sary consequence of the sudden change. "Looking back now from the stand point of 1901. my contention is entire ly justified. Wherever the labor is reliable and the management judicious the land makes as much now as it ever did in slave times, and, therefore, the owner is as rich as he ever was.

It was the girl whom he so fondly loved, and who had now come to bid him her eternal farewell. He was leaning, in a melancholy mood, against the window frame of his pris on and the heavy clanking of h's irons smote dismally on her heart. The in terview was bitterly affecting, and melted even the callous soul of the jailor. As for Emmet, he wept and spoke little: but. as he pressed his be loved in silence to his bosom, his coun tenance betrayed his emotions. In that there is not In the sense of the current magazine and newspaper dis cussion any res! race "reblem— eVcopt as such publications make it so them selves. He declared that the only problem that confronts us is the treat ment of the negro from a civil and Indus*’-''’ -nidroint. and that tho common sense of our people will have to solve this problem as each case presents itself fbr treatment. Mr. Steed expressed it as his belief that the continued discussion in news papers and various periodicals, and. from the forum of the so-called race question by theorists, doctrinarles and politicians, does not and will never solve anything, but only augments and •gravates the evil, and especially the labor conditions :on the farms— hlch are serious enough.. “But,” said Mr. Steed with emphasis, "this is no race question!
