Sky'S Address.

AS stated in yestereay's ARGUS we
lay before our readers today the splen-
did address delivered in this city
Thursday night by Mr.. 5. Wittkowsky,
of Charlotte, which we feel sure will
have its effect for good in giving a
greater impetus to the Building and
Loan spirit in this city.
Mr.. Wittkowsky said:
l am here my friends, to aid you in
q cause which for general benef1cence,
fer helpfulness in the uplifting of your
town aud community, for making good,
contented, patriotic, citizenship, for
aiding that large and worthy class the
Wage Earners' to become home own
ers, and for the making of sober, up
right, God-fearing citizenship. 1 can
state it in all candor and sincerity,
that having now devoted nearly a
quarter of a century of my best life
and efforts to the cause, having seen.
and witnessed its benefits that there
has IS yet been devised no human
.-situti0n that can compare with 1t
in its general good results, and that it
is second only in its good results to
the school house, aye; to the church
itself.
I am glad to see the good women
OF this city present, as no cause vii
ever prosper without the support and
cooperation of the good women of the
land and in the cause I am here to ad-
yocate, you ladies are especially in
terested On you ladies depends wheth-
er the coming generation shall have
,%
strings, that place which above all 9th
ers on this earth shall be "to them"
the dearest, sweetest spot on earth,
where, whether in childish glee, or
young manhods active prime or old
ages reminiscent moods they will
look back at the happy childhood days,
where they nestled in mothers loving
arms forgetful Of all else in blissful
innocent slumber, and wherever fate
may in after life direct their steps
they will look back with loving venera-
ton to the place of their home and
feel that:
There woman reigns; Mother, daugh-
ter, wife,
Ever strew fresh flowers on the mar
row way of life.
In the clear heaven of her delightful
eye,
An angel guard of love and graces lie.
Around her knee, domestic beauties
meet,
And fireside pleasures gambol at her
feet.
This part of the earth supremely
blessed,
A dearer, sweeter spot than all the
rest
Ladies, while under the economic
law of nature, it is the province of
the bread winner to earn the home,
yours, is the province to embellish
that home, to plant a vine here, a
shrub here, and flower there, in the
happy consciousness that this is your
