FLORENCE WEATHER
NEVER TWICE. ALIKE

Notwithstanding the fact that Flor
ence enjoys the best climate Of any
city in the state, taking it the year
around day by day, it rarely occurs
that the same date in different years
sees the weather exactly alike. Last
night at q O'Clock the thermometer
registered eight above zero. at mid.
night the mercury dropped to the
zero mark and at O'Clock this morn
ing 1t was six below, it being the
coldest weather for the winter season.
The coldest any day this year. prior
to today, was zero.
Three years ago this month. this
city experienced the coldest weather
In history and that WAS the day that
Charles Freeze froze to death while
on rabbit hunting expedition in the
hills north Of the city. Freeze start
ed out on his rabbit hunt when the
weather was about 25 dergees below
zero. He froze near the Dorcas mill
while returning home. At midnight
that night the mercury had dropped
to thirty degrees below.
On the same date Of 1907. summer.
like weather was experienced. A
rose bush in the yard of the house at
III West Fourth street. was in leaf
and there were 100 or more leaves on
the bush. Rudolph Kauert was seen
to wear straw hat on the streets that
day. Apple trees burst into blossom
in week or two afterwards and the
memorable frost visited this section a
short time afterward and killed the
entire fruit crop of the county for the
season.
The cold of this morning kept peo-
pie Off the street until we'll toward
noon. Tho cold snap will be boon
to the coal mines of this locality
without orders, for when It is cold
here. 1t is much colder. as rule, In
other sections OF the country. II the
cold continues several days rush ord.

week or so, will again work steady.

BORE HOLES IN THE
HILLS FOR WATER

L. @. Buente, hydraulic expert,
gives the following interview to the
Denver Times which is of some inter-
est here as the boring of wells for
water has been continued with sue
cess in this community for several
years, and shows the possibilities that
are ahead for such movement:
"There is enough water in Colora-
do outside Of the lakes, rivers and
creeks to irrigate every inch Of arid
land in the state.'' This remarkable
statement was made by l.. O. Buente,
hydraulic expert from Allegheny,
Pa. who is in the state for the ex-
press purpose Of studying irrigation
and mines Buente, who is staying
at tho Dewey hotel, states that the
mountains in Colorado are immense
natural reservoirs and If tapped thcy

haustible supply of water for irrigat-
ing and other purposes,

since 1878 and has made study of
flood causes, results and conditions,
and says the water that is wasted in
the United States each year is appall-
ing and criminal on the part of the
people, who could, by proper manag-
ement. arrange to store all waste and
flood waters fol. purposes of irrigation.
Regarding the situation in Colora-
do Buente said:
"You are peculiar people out
here. All Of your big mines are flood
ed and the progress Of your mineral
industry is hampered as q result.
Many OF your valleys are dry and
your agricultural industry is hamper
ed thereby. You object to water in
your mines aud the lack of it in your
valleys. and yet tunnel projects which
have as their object the draining Of
the mines and tapping your mountain
reservoirs get little support.
II believe from studies have made
that all your mines could be made
dry and your valleys wet by simply
tapping the mountains as you would
pull the bung from barrel. Tap the
mountains where water ia known ia
exist and tap them at low point and
you will get the water and relieve
the mines. or course the expense Il
enormous. but in mineral and the
products Of the soil / believe that
every project would pay for itself.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS Do.
Their UnceaSinS Work Keeps
us Strong And Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the
blood. They work night and day.
When healthy they remove about 500
grains of impure matter daily, when
unhealthy some part of this impure
matter is left in the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symp-
toms-pain in the back, headache,
nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheuma-
tism, gout, gravel, disorders of the
eyesight and hearing, dizziness,
irregular heart, debility, drowsiness,
dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc.
But if you keep the filters right you
will have no trouble with your kid
neys.
William Robinson, Oyster Dealer,
living in Smyrna, Del, says: Il
suffered with disordered kidneys for
four years. The trouble began with
a severe backache which bothered me
a great deal, and later, the kidneys
became weak and irregular in action.
The doctor stated l had inflammation of
the bladder but medicine failed to
give me any relief until l procured
Doan's Kidney Pills at Clifton &
Raymond's Pharmacy. After using
this remedy a short time l was al

CROPS GROW WITHOUT RAIN.
How the Syrian Peasant Makes Use Of
the Moist Subsoi,

In Syria and Palestine from the be
ginning of April until October there is
practically no rain. yet in July the
fields TEEN with Il vigorous growth of
watermelOns, tomatoes. cucumbers.
rte, all iOurishing without artificial
watering, although at that time NJ
rain has fallen for many weeks.
In Fact, the Syrian peasant from the
moment his seed has been sown Dravs
that no rain may fall. During the pp.
riod of growth of a crop the surface Of
the soil to a depth of six or eight
inches is perfectly dry and loose. Be
low this surface layer will be found
moist soil. in which the roots extend
and grow vigorously. In this moist
GCDSOil plants continue to grow until
late autumn. When the crop is re-
moved in the autumn the rains COM
mence, and the land is plowed after
each heavy rain as soon as the soil
begins to dry.
Two primary objects are kept in
view in plOwing-tO furnish a favOra-
b!e surface for taking up all the water
and to prevent its upward evaporation
from the subsOil. The great point is
to keep the upper six inches of soil
perfectly loose and friable. so that the
moisture from below is not drawn up
ward and lost in evaporation. but does
not ascend higher than the compact
subsOil that is not broken up by the
plOW. For this reason the plowing is
shallow, averaging from four to six
inches in depth.
When the time for sowing the seed
arrives the land is plOwed to a depth
of about six inches and the seed is
sown from an arrangement attached
to the plow. falls on the damp subsoil
and is covered by the soil closing over
behind the plowshare From this time
the upper stratum of loose soil pre-
vents the escape of moisture upward
beyond the wet subsOil on which the
seeds rest and into which their roots

DODGING THE SPEAKER.
One of the First Gases of FiIibusterinq
In Congress.

III OOuSTGSS
Ono of the first instances of flibus.
tering occurred in 1905 just after the
Impeachment trial of the Hon. Samuel
Chase, one of the associate justices of
the supreme court. A quarrel arose
over the payment of witnesses. The
house of Representatives would pass no
bill which provided for the payment
of those summoned by Chase. The
senate would pass no bill which did
not, and a conference followed. Each
refused to yield, and the bill was lost.
John Randolph then attempted in
the closing hours of the session to
have the witnesses for the managers
of the trial paid out of the contingent
fund of the house. But the Fcderalists
were ready. They hurried from the
room. and when the vote was taken
the speaker announced no quorum.
Members were thereupOn summOneg.

Hardly were they in their seats when
a message from the president was an

Il second time called up there was
again no quorum. Once more the ser
