JAPANESE COMMON SENSE
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE,
teoryslenr. ,sis. ~ fRANk eRANEl =

Josh Billings once said something TO the effect that Experience
was a good thing hut that the smart man would let the other fellow
get bt by the rutiesnakc while he took the experience.
Wisdom doubtless is excellent. But the trouble with It is that
usually it is accumulated only after u long life, and by that time
it's of no uSc.
The time for Wisdom is when you re Young. Then You can utilize
il TO promote YOUR ucccS and insure your happiness.
The first thing the Young Person wants TO do Is 10 decide That he
wants Wisdom. that he prefers being Wise TO being a Fool
This is difficult. for youth 5 passions are ~ strong Ms dcluNIonN
re so intense and It's impotence st great that it is AN easy prey to the
of fools that Wisdom means dulucSs and drlucSs, whereas IN reality
there is no great adventure, no abiding pleasure and no real getting
ON without Wisdom.
There m two sources from whence be can get Wisdom from
Books. aud from those who are Old and Wise.
To these he must add a strong and saving Common Sense, within
himself, so thar he may be able to judge. to discriminate between the
true aud the false, the seeming and the actual.
IoritomO was one of Japan : most iIuSttlous thinkers. lie was
founder of the first dynasty of ShOguns and ranked ~ one OF the
three greatest statesmen his country ever produced. He lived 700
years ago, but his teachings are evergreen.
of which five are Reason, Moderation, Penetration, Consistency, and
Wisdom.
Speaking of Wisdom, he writes;
1T is from the nevcrcnding lesson which life teaches us that
wisdom of old age is learned.
But is it really necessary TO reach the point oI dccrepitudc in
order to profit by an experience? Why give TO old age alone the priv
leges of wisdom? Why should It's beauty be- unveiled only 10 those
who can no longer profit by it,
What would be thought of one who prdcd himself on possessing
bracelets when he had lot his two arms in war;
1T IS therefore, necessary not only To encourage young people 90
profit by lessons of wisdom and experience but, Still further, to midi
cate to them how they can accomplish the result of those lessons
80 those who insist that nothing is equivalent to personal expert
oucc. We point out that "A Just opinion can only Ec formed when per
souai sentiment is excluded from the discussion
is II necessary 10 have experienced pain i'm order tu prevent or
cure it?
The majority of physicians have never been killed by the disease
they treat.
Then why could we not do for the mind that which can be done
for the body
I'VE may all possess wisdom if we are willing TO be persuaded
that the experience of others is as useful as our own

Washington, d. c., Feb. THE
Council OF Defense will within lew
days award the contract ror a ten
nil!icn dollar warehouse at Charles
:cn Tor Use in oversees transPorta-
tioa. iii:s is Lart Of the plan that
ha5 been worked out by the shipping
boards whereby much of the cotton
and other exports for overseas trans
portaticn are to be sert through
Charleston, Wilmington and Savan-
nah.
4 number Of contractors are here
asking thot they be permitted to Did
on the Charleston JOB and have been
told that if they are able to perform
a contract of this magnitude in All
unprecedented brief period that they
may bid.
The compensation will be On a per-
centaee basis. This warehouse will
be the largest in the United States
of the kind; it will be steel and con-
crete and will be built on the harbor
edge. The shipping board has been
at work quietly on the plan to erect
this warehouse and another import
ant part of the work contemplated 1s
the further eeEening of the Charles
ton harbor expedite transportation
in order to let LARGE vessels come in,
which can enter now only under diff
fculty at low tide.
The shipping board has come to
the conclusion that supplies and nu-
nitions should be diverted from the
east in the future and southern har-
boTs used. This was decided upon
rot only to save transportation to
the eastern ports but also to relieve
the congestion there.
Again it has been found that the
extreme cold weather sucn as during
tee rast few weeks is a great handi :,
cap in the winter, wherccT in Char
lesion the Geld weather would not
cause ony delay in loading and un-
loading.
Again, the coal supply from Ala
hama, Tennessee and West Virginia.
used largely as bunker coai, can be
rushed to the Atlantic seaboard
much quicker than to New York,
where much Of the railroad con-
gestion of the past few weeks has

FLORENCE PHYSICIAN KILLED.
Attorney is Wounded-Jury Makes
Lawyer Hicks and Gedding
Ildert0n Responsible.

Florence, Feb S.-William Ilder-
ton, physician, was killed. and J. Will
bur Hicks, an attorney, seriously
wounded in shooting affray which
occurred at noon today in the hall Of
the Florence courthouse. Both are
well-known citizens of this city. Ged-
dings Ilderton, a son of the dead ply
sician, participated in the shooting,
firing three shots at his father. This
happened just after the Judge OF pro-
bate had pushed the half-crazed man
away from the PROSTATE form OF the
attorney, whom he had shot down.
Ilderton and Hicks emptied their re-
volvers at each other. Hicks was
struck down and Ilderton was in the
act of attempting to club him In the
head with the butt end Of his piston
when Mr.. ,Brunson, who had rushed
into the hall from his Office, pushed
him away. Just then young Ilderton
entered the hall from the front, firing
as he came.
The escape Of Mr.. Brunson from
harm is deemed miraculous. Ilderton
was shot five times. Either one Of
two of these bullets would have
proved total. One entered the heart.
Hicks was shot in the head and in
the abdomen, but the cavity was not
pierced and he will recover. Young
Ilderton was unharmed.
The shooting grew out of bad blood
between the attorney, VINO was rep
resenting Mrs. Ilderton in a suit for
alimony, and the dead man. DR.. and
Mrs. Iiderton separated three years
ago. Today was set for the first hear
ing in the case before the master, Il.
A. Brunson, acting as referee. Mr..
Brunson postponed the case on &C
count of the fact that 1lderton ap-
peared to be drinking. Hicks and
Ilderton came together in the hall OF
the courthouse later and the shooting
began.
Ilderton came to Florence from
Dorchester county. At one time he
was prominent in county politics,
; having served several terms as sem
ator for Florence county. He was
about So years old. The verdict OF
the coroner's jury was that deceased
came to his death from gunshot
wounds in the hands Of j. ". Hicks
and Geddings Ilderton.
