Duty. ? Tb? hardest ward to pronounce ,1a I rho whole lexicon; of life H-duty!.

Let us* think for s Itt- H tie while about this drab and difficult ? thing called "One's doty." Of course H taara ia a sense in which every sge H ls an age of transition, but then again ? there ts a sense* in which certain ? points in history are pivotal-erasa- I words of destiny. Such an epoch is I our own, such sn era is the present, ? such a time is now. Behold all things H have become new-from . the new H theology of Reginald Campbell to the ? new woman of Ellen Key. Today we H have a new psychology taught by G.

And besides H there ls the new efficiency of Taylor, ? Emerson, and Brandeis, the new in- BJ iustrlalism of Georges . Sorrel, the ? new nil Utan cy of Mrs. Pankhurst, the ? new penology, the new chemistry, the H new physics, the new art movement I and,, at last, the new morality, or H what I will call the new justice. ? "Social Environment and Moral H Progresa," has lately come from the H press and lt ls af scathing criticism of ? present day society, written by a H trenchant pen. The contention of his I book la that, while there may be in- fl finite variation, modification, move- H ment and change, there ls no rial ? progress from a^e to age. If I- may fl presume to reply tc so Illustrious a H I thinker I should say that all depends ? loa what are your criteria ot progress I land what is your measuring rod.

The smooth- nfl fl ness and accuracy of our translation >H lot abstract duty into concret life- H this will help Us to estimate rightly ? fl the times in which we live. I Never, perhaps? has the world been I Iso Ul.at ease as today; never so de- H Htermlned to find a way, or make one, H fl out of the' woods. This, as I ses lt, H fl Is the. deep significance, the true In- I I wardneas of the present unrest among ? fl all the nations of the world and all ? fl the olasaes of society.

Today we Say that it is the duty of the State to protect ita citizens from false weights and deleterious foods and its future citl sena from heartless exploitation. The American Indians considered lying s capital offense and barned the guilty at the stake-this was probably ber cause lying is the basest and mean est and most contemptible form pf cowardice.

The month of November gets Its name from the Latin word for Nipa, "Uovem," being originally the ninth month. lt is known us thc month of. "leaf Tall," the wind month, or sacrifice month or slaughter month because of tho usual custom of supplying tho winter's supply of meeta during this month. This month has long been the month for tho annual Thanksgiving services, but the first National Thanksgiving tor geece waa c?l?br?t ed on the 2nM of November, 1865.

Anderson, ?,JC. ? id You Mean It? Not long ago you heard a Piano so harsh and metallic in tone that you wondered hov it came to bc in so nice a home. You vowed you would never own such a piano. DID YOU MEAN 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 lt was a MUSICAL INSTRUMENT. Every Piano in our stock from Wesscr down, has character and indi* vidual ly, a Piano ot class by right of birth and breeding. That ls 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 thc very best instrument possi ble to make for that amount of mqney. 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. gf.j How We Gan Do Wc 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.
