a7t,TO OUR GRANDMOTHER.
Grand thou art in numerous ways;
We'd sing of thee in tenderest lays; !
We'd sound thy virtues and thy praise
We'd cherish all thst, grandma says.
Grandest in thought, in prayer in deed,
Grandest in word, in love, in need.
May all thy. latest skies be blue;
No cloud to dim their azure hue;
Their constant tint suggest to you,
To you, grandmas, our love is true.

gress in the Fifth district against Will
liam Schley Howard, led the fight to
place the bill on the special and con-
tinuing order, and he got the neces-
sary three-fourths vote of the house.
There was much sharp debate. Mem
bers opposed to bringing up the bill
declared the state had no right to in
terfere in the religions activity of any
church, whether Protestant, Catholic
or Jew, and they reminded Representa-
tive Blackburn that separation of the
church and state" has always been
his shibboleth. The vote on making
the bill a special order makes it GER
tain that the bill will pass the house
when it comes to a vote.
Another significant feature of the
special order fixed by the house is
that it practically ends all prospect of
the Savannah recall bill coming to a
vote in the house and sidetracks the
tax repeal bill for the present session
so far as the house is concerned.
The sidetracking of the Savannah
recall bill is a victory for the prohi-
bitionist forces, who are against the
bill because they are convinced that
the recall asked by the Chatham coun-
ty delegation is a scheme to GUST May
or w. J. Pierpont of Savannah from
office because he has closed the sa-
looms of that city.
