BRILLIANT CLOSE OF
WOMEN'S CONGRESSES

to the morning congress, which was de-
lightfully read by Mrs. Sophie Harper
Cowart of Dallas, Tex. Ending seriously,
It paid Just need to the work of Southern
women in the literary and especially In
the press, closing thus:

may pause, however, to cast a fresh for
get-me-not upon one grave that is ever
green In the memory of every loyal press
man and woman in my dear old state of
Alabama. When a mere child, Margaret
O'Brien wrote a novel which, for original

descriptive force is worthy of some Of
the world-famed men who have handled
similar themes. OF course, I refer to

This little Alabama girl, still in her
teens, wrote poems that for tender truth
and delicate point and humor were on

Wrists the world adores, and with the
neatest weaving of the masters of vers-
de-sociele. And while she was doing this
she edited the society and literary col

did general news chores beside. Then,

little Margaret was not only that father 8

I will not pretend that any woman may
not have done the same. under the same
circumstances. But Alabama and Ten
nessee are twins, in all regards of pro-
gress, development and push; and their
daughters bear the same family features
of advanced mentality. From my own
experience of them 1 believe that they
will go hand in hand up the steep path of
future greatness"

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Governor Montague yesterday sub
mitted bis first message to the General
Assembly.
The Governor directs especial st.eu-
lions to the question OF better public
roads and highways In the state.
There is," he says, mo economic
question before the people OF the State OF
such moment as that Of better public
q; d ways. Experts and pubilcists concur
10 the opinion that good highways are
the best exponerts of an advanced
civilization" He says Virginia is
spending annually about $500, 900 upon
pubic highways without any APP
probable equivalent 10 road Improve
ment and suggests the creation OF
commission OF public highways, with
the pogers OF investigation, supervis-
fon and control given to similar bodies
10 other States ana recommends the
utilization of penitentlary convict.,
tramps, Migrants and certain jail
prisoners to work on the public roads
or prepare material for the same. The
message does not touch upon political
questions.
Governor Montague calls attention
to the present congested ccrdit on Of
tbs pentsntIary and urges an sppro'
priation sufficient for sucn repair and
improvements as will iDsu'e the "sefety
of the institution and promot5 tle
health and convenience OF those tuat
come to labor WITHIN It's walls"
The Governor recommends that the
Office OF Fret Auditor be one of audit.
ing, so that that Office, the Second
Auditors Office and Tressurer's Office
will be check upon each other. This
is recommended without crlticIsing Ia
any way these depart ments.
The message recommends the enact
msnt OF an employers liability bill, as
pledged by the democratic party.
Tue Governor touches upon indus
trial education for the public schools.
Education" says he, "ior speculative
thinkers and professions will not save
the people. But few OF the many who
ever enter public schools make their
living other than by :be use OF their
hands and eyes.
He suggests the State Board OF E1u-
cation be authorized to engrsit some
form of industrial education upon tne
public school system. He recommends
that $50, 900 be appropriated to restore
the burned building at the Eastern
Ststs Hospital and al appropriation
