 Mrs. Mathis stated that unquestionably this was the greatest work ever started in Alabama, and it needed the support and effort of every interest in tho state. She said that 1t could be made even a greater movement than that of grown in Mississippi which started in the neigh boring state after the campaign there last spring. She declared that every in- terest behind the movement meant the making of a new state of Alabama and in- creasing the wealth of each county by many thousands of dollars. She was ready to give of her time and effort she said, to help make the work all that was hoped for it.
 She said that this movement was dear to her heart. and that everybody in every part of the state should feel his or her obligation to do now something for tho state that has possibilities for wealth and prosperity not exceeded by any state in the union.
