Let os1 think for a lit-' tie while about this drab and; difficult th|ng called"^Ohe's duty." Of course there is s,.stnse_ in which ery.ags la an age Of transition, but then again there is a sense in which certain points in hictory are pivotal?cross words of dcBtjny. Such an epoch .if. ohr own, such ah era Is the present, such a time Is now. Behold all things have become new?from the. new theology of Reginald Campbell to the new woman of Ellen Key. Today we have a now psychology taught by G. Stanley Hall,- the new philosophy ot William James,?tho new metaphysics of Henri Bergson, the new national ism of Roosevelt and the new freedom Of Wood row Wll?on. And besides there is the* new efficiency of Taylor, Emerson and Brendels, the new,.in dustrialism of Georges Sorrel, tho new militancy of Mrs. Pankhurst, the new penology, the,pew chemistry, the new physics, the new art movement and, at last, the new morality, or What X will c?l). tho new Justice, "Social Environment and Moral Progress," has lately come from the press and it Is a scathing criticism of present day society, written by g trenchant pen. The contention of his book is that, while there may be in finite variation, modification, move ment' and change, there Is no real progress from a\o to age. If I may preErume to reply to so illustrious a thinker I should say that all depends on, vf hat .are' your c rite: a of. progress and what Is your measuring rod. I know of no . better test ing tube than our-definition'of duty Tho smooth ness and accuracy of our translation of abstract duty Into concret life? this will help us to estimate rightly the times in which we live. Never* .perhaps, baa tho world been so ill at ease as today; never so de termined to find a Way, or make one, out of the woods. This, as I see-it. Is the deep significance, the true in wardness of the present onrest e^neng all the nations of the world and all the classes of society. Our conscience hurts us. But some ope .will ask, has society a conscience? Indeed It has, and just now it 1b working overtime, double shift. _ The still small voice thunders llke'the sound of many wat ers. Right, and wrong at. last are so cial vaines,. Morality has been defined by David 8 trau sa as man's relation to man, while' religion consists of man's relation to the universe. , If, then, morality, :' righteousness, right and wrong 1b.'a s?c'sl s^at^p.apd. if con science is the appraised and collec tion at the port to see that none of its succeed in smuggling through life, cheating-bur way. then what more nat ural than that we should develop a social conscience?which Is precisely what-we have done. Beware of delus ions about duty. Dont be so foolish as to,try to eaeapo duty. . Don't post pone?for Bufilclcnt for each day' Is the duty thereof. And finally the plain path that grows brighter and brighter unto the perfect rd?y, the straight'and narrow way, Is the street called duty. aud; leads direct to the gates of the- city of happiness. There rtro those ^who, wearied with what Ar sc.ld Bennett has SO ap?y called "do mestic dalllnesa" and relentless rou tine, would delude and deceive them selves as to the reality of life by deny ing duty. Truly the wUh Is father to Uio thoughL As well deny gravitation Sr 61s fe complaint against the post ona and motions of the planets. V.'Of: course If you were alone in the world?single, cell?you might man ago somehow to squeeze through life without duties. But you aro not alono, and it ,t? alWaya saner and braver to fceet thte- facts.

Jefferson contended thai the best government was that one'which gov erned tho least, hence the motto for the individual was caveat emptor, lei the buyer beware. Today we say that It Is the duty of tho" State to protect Its citizens from false weights and deleterious foodc and its future citi zens from heartless exploitation. Tho j American Indians considered lying a capital.offense and burned the guilty] at the Stake?this was probably be cause lying is the basest and mean est and most contemptlblo form of cowardice. Up to a few years ago we thought that the function of law, back- ) ed by the police, was to keep people from doing and punish people for do , lug, what they ought not to have done ?for sins of commission: today with our sanitary codes, our employers'' liability acts, our minimum wage, and' limited hours statutes, we are saying ?with our new conscience that Miss Add am s writes about with such grace and truth?that the further duty of the State and of the law is to make people "do what they have left un done"?make good their sins of omis sion. The month of November gets Its name from the Latin word for Nino, "Uovem," being originally the ninth month. . It is known as the month of "leaf fall/' the wind month,1 or 'sacrifice month or slaughter month because of the usual custom of supplying the winter's supply of meats during this month. ? This month has long been the month for the annual Thanksgiving BorviccH, but the first National Thanksgiving for peace was celebrat ed on the 2iM of November, 136S.

Not long ago you heard a Piano so harsh and metallic in tone that you wondered how it came to be in so nice a home.. You .vowed ! you would never own such a piano. DID YOU ME?N IT? Were you in earnest when you heard at another home a Piano so beautiful, so sympathetic and melodious that it fairly touched your heart and you said, 1 want such a Piano. ONE MAY HAVE COST AS ' MUCH AS THE OTHER; One was sold as a "just as good." The other sold itself because It was a MUSICAL INSTRUMENT. Every Piano in our stock from Wess?r down, has character and indi vidually, a Piano of class by right of birth and breeding. That is something unique, something to be seen nowhere else in Anderson, And it means that a person having only $200 or $225 to spend on a Piano, can come with the certainty of getting thej very best instrument, p jssi ble to'make for that* amount of money. There are standard low priced Pianos just as there are standard high priced instruments. THE STANDARD PIANOS ARE HERE; THE WORLD'S BEST FOR EACH PARTICULAR PRICE. We C?ti Do lt We buy our pianos DIRECT from the FACTORY paying SPOT CASH for them which makes a GREAT BIG differ* ence in the COST to US. In this manner we are enabled to name YOU ^prices .which were NEVER named here before for the SAME GRADE of instruments. Our pianos are Guaranteed for TEN YEARS by ourselves | and the Manufacturers,* too. We Sell F or Cash or on m to Let this be your invitation to come and see.
