Burlington, Oct 1S.-The promoters Of
the Burlington and Hinesburg railroad
are still hopeful that the road will be com
pleted next year as the material was de-
layed in transit last spring so that the OPP
erations had to be suspended is now on
the ground and all that is required is the
work Of laying the remaining rails and ties
where nesded.
The local contractor who has had charge
Of most of the construction work of late
years says that it was planned to do some
rock cutting this fall but the idea was
finally abandoned beeouse it was thought
saat the entire work could go on faster all
all at once when large gang Of men wai
at work. There are only few miles oi

amount and it is thought that the road

ages she has been going through the process which now makes her the best | of all women.
 Again, I do not agree with you that woman owes her present condition to | self; she owes 1t to the justice and lib- | erality of man. It is not woman awak- encd, it is man awakened. If this were not so we would not be here today to ask you to join hands with us in the | work there Is to do Our system of CO., | educati ton, of business and employment | Is due tot he love of our brother man. You know the dream of Olive Shriner. | How the woman came and stood before the bar of God to accuse her brother man for having trodden on her sister How she showed her own hands were pure, but as she lifted her skirts she foot prints were of blood, mans blood and as she went away the angels washed the stains with their tears. Again the woman came, this time not alone, but with her brother man. They stood be- fore the bar of God. Soon the angels sep arated them and placed the woman one step higher up, she motioned and the man came and stood beside her. Now they were happy and equal, none they accused. together they lived and loved and worked What more beautifud act of
 
 Weinsberg. Konrad II had captured the city with it's inmates as prisoners. He gave freedom to the women, and as he stood at the head of his army to allow them to pass he noticed that each woman was bent by a huge pack on her back. Ordering the packs to be opened he found the burden of each woman to be her greatest treasure-a husband, a brother, a father or sweetheart.
 Now as to the work that lies before us. For hundreds of years a huge block of stone lay in the streets of Florence The young artist Michael Angelo asked for it, and out of the pure and seamless marble with mallet and chisel he wrought his beautiful statue of David Our work is vast. the material Is crude but out of 1t can be moulded that which will make Alabama the pride of the South. The mallet and the chisel are the heart and the will, the material is the poor white boys and girls of our State
 Never before In the history of the South was our duty so clearly outlined.

of the highest type of womanhood we add cleanliness, sanitation, thriftiness and broader conception of humanity, we do not thereby decrease our estimate of
 those cardinal attributes of good wo- manhood which have and always will be accepted. We accept cheerfully the doc Urine that the place for woman is at home, and with the help of God, for which we daily petition as only a wo- mans heart can petition, we are making it the place for husbands and boys.
 This Is an age of materialism. We have not sought this; such conditions have been forced upon us. A few years ago lover won his bride by books and flowers and sentiments warm from the heart. Today she Is hardly won until
 the calculating father examines her would-be suitor's bank account.
 In the position that we hold we would not take from the world any of its poet ry and sentiment. Ours is a mission to add these things We do not want to make our girls machines, and yet if 1t becomes necessary for them to become the support of self or of family, we want these machines attuned to every chord of business and industry. The teachers. stenographers, book keepers and sales women would rather be at home than in the stores and offices. Now has this Ro- ing out in the world taken from woman any of her charms? If you will allow me to repeat an illustration which have be- fore used without endorsing even 'by implication. all that Elizabeth Cady Stanton stands for I do not hesitate to claim that she was a better and wiser woman than Mary Tudor. Queen Eliz- abeth was not half so good nor wise nor womanly as the broad-mnded and hu- mane Elizabeth Stuart Phelps.
 Mrs. Potter Palmer Is more honest. more womanly. quite as accomplished and better diplomat than Madam de Stael A more lovable woman has never occu- pied the White House than Mrs. Cleye- land q wish she was there todayD Madam Le Vert in the zenith of her glory never touched the high ideal of splendid womanhood that Annie Wheeler has reached. And I claim unhesltatingly that at no time in the history of our State has the standard of womanhood been higher. We are told that the Greek con- ception of excellence was the full and perfect development of humanity in all its organs and functions, without any tinge of asceticism. Are We not striving along this line? Do not the womens clubs teach the strenuous life in the struggle for full and perfect development of humanity? Is not Helen Gould a wis CT and better woman than Lady Mary Motley Montague? Was Florence Night ingale more useful than Clara Barton 9 You may acknowledge all this and vet you ask does this life not make home less attractive? reply and from expe-

 Madam President and ladies of tho Federation, while in me has been vested the honor to bid you welcome. any words I may speak will faintly express the spirit and the life of the joy that comes to you in greeting from the club women of Montgomery.
 Nor is this greeting confined to the club women. All noble men and gracious wo- men of our dear city, are ready with the smile of welcome and the extended hand. Even the air Is pervaded with pleasure able thrill of excitement responsive to the pulsing of happy hearts.
