COURT ADJoURNS.
Important Business Transacted By County Commissioner at Florence.

Florence, February 29.-(Special.)- The court of county commissioners adjourned Friday after transacting business of much importance to the county. Judge Porter was authorized to pay out of country treasury $52l5 on the indebtedness created by build ing bridges three years ago, reducing the debt to $16,000. The proposition to issue bonds to the amount of $2O,- 900 to pay off the bridge warrants was defeated at the polls in November, 1904, and the court has determined to retire them out of the county treasury as fast as possible. The court au- thorized Judge Porter to have the court house wired Tor electric lights and to have two large arc lights put on top of the building.
 Judge Porter was also directed to insure the building for $20,0

PLUMBING ORDINANCE.
Alderman Barbour Explains and De-
 fends New Measure.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In the columns of the Saturday eve hing papers and the Sunday Age-Herald there appeared wanton and uneailed for attack against the new proposed plumbing ordinance for the city of Bir- mingham.
 As am a member of the sanitary committee, I feel that the attack is aim ed not only at the welfare of the pro- posed ordinance but also directly at me, as being responsible for it's creation. will not shrink from acknowledging that was the author and prime mover in the effort to gain it's adoption by the coun- cil of this city
 As set forth in the papers it would appear that a slaring fault was being made by the council and that an ire parable hardship would be worked on the people of this city should it be adopted.
 l wish to say that this ordinance was not the creation of a day or week, but several months have been spent on the composition of it, and special care taken to make it fit the wants and environ
  ticle in the daily papers dwells largely on the increased expense which would be incurred by it's adoption and also on the fact that 1t prohibits a class of in- competent workmen from butchering up the plumbing work of the town In promiscuous manner.
 l will first take up the ordinance it. o4o oftx reaches a certain size and passes from a village to a city, the most important point to consider is a betterment of its drainage and sanitary system. In the big trunk sewer we have the answer to the drainage problem This sewer was put through with the consent of the people. When this became an assured fact it became necessary to take up the problem of hcalthful house-drainage and sanitation as the immense sewer with it's thousands of feet flowing ca pacity of sewer gas which came on the town with a back pressure that the pres ent style of plumbing and trapping and ventilation would not stand and for which they were as inadequate to stand as the old wooden water mains would be to stand the hundred and odd pounds pressure of the modern waterworks sys- tenn. An ordinance must be created to fit the town as no town can be created to fit an ordinance.
 had before me when composing this ordinance the adopted ordinance of ev- cry town in the south an/ many towns of the north and east This ordinance is almost an exact copy of the Atlanta ordinance and but very little different from the Mobile plumbing laws Mo- bile, the little town down on the bay on whom we were accustomed to look as being sleepy and a hundred years behind the times has been working un- der similar ordinance for almost six

PRESIDENT ACCEPTS
 TSI ANS PICTURE
PORTRAIT OF CHlNA'S DoWAeER EMPRESS WILL BE HUNG IN PROMINENT PLACE IN NAT. LOYAL MUSEUM.

Washington, February 19.-Sir Chen Tung Liang Cheng, the Chinese min. ister, yesterday presented to Mir. Roosevelt an oil painting of the dow ager Empress of China. The presen. tation, which was made as a token of the good will of China for the IJnite1 States as in some recognition in the part this country has played in the preservation thus far in the integrity of the Chinese empire, took place in the blue room of the White House Ii was attended by the formal exchange of felicitious addresses by the Chinese minister and the President.
 Sir Liang Cheng addressed the President as follows:
 MT. President: In obedience to the command of her majesty, the En- press dowager of China, I have the honor to presen$ to the government of the United States, of which you are the distinguished and honored chief magistrate, the portrait of her majesty, which was on exhibition at the Louisiana purchase exposition as gift from the imperial government of China.
 ''The course of recent events in China has proved to the world that on the disinterested friendship of the United States, China can place the firmest reliance. In order to show. in signal manner, her appreciation of this friendship her majesty has taken advantage of the opportunity afforded by the celebration of the centennial anniversary of the purchase by the United States of the territory of Lou isiana. It seems, therefore, fitting that the portrait of her majesty should be- come the property of the United States government as a memorial of her abiding interest in the welfare and prosperity of the American peo- pie"
 President Roosevelt replied as fol- lows:
 "Mr. Minister: This is for me a most agreeable occasion. In deliver ing to me a gift to the United States. the portrait of her majesty the Elm press dowager of China. which held a distinguished place among the Chinese exhibits at the Louisiana purchase ex- position, you have appropriately ex- pressed the estimation of the disinter-
  ested friendship of the United States which is felt by the imperial govern ment which in turns testifies it's recip- rocal regard and esteem for this coun- try and people. It is fitting that this mutual friendship will exist and be maintained and strengthened in all practicable ways, whether in the larger field of international relations or by pleasing incidents like that which brings us together today. I am glad. therefore, in the name of the government and people of the United States, to accept this portrait which will be placed in the national museum as a lasting memorial of the good which unites the two countries and of the strong interest each feels in the others well being and advance ment. 1 beg that you will appropriate ly convey my thanks to her majesty with wishes for her health and hap piness."
 The painting will be hung in con spicuous place in the national mu- scum.

BRIDGE AT DECATUR.
Believed That Louisville and Nashville
 Is Interested in Project.

Huntsville, February 19.-(Special)-It is the general belief in railroad circles that in the event the Louisville and Nashville railway Is the party interested in the construction of a bridge at Decatur across the Tennessee, and really contemplates building a bridge there, the Southern rail- way will again take up the matter of ex- tending the Memphis division from Stevenson to Chattanooga.
 The Southern owns the railroad bridge at Decatur and the Nashville. Chatta- nooga, and St. Louis owns the track from Stevenson to Chattanooga, which Is used by the Southern, and the annual rental on the bridge and track is said to be the same This arrangement has been mutually satisfactory many years, and it is believed the effort of either system to do away with the necessity of rent ing will result in new bridge and a parallel track.

 Very Quiet CANDIDATES ARE SLOW
Mrs. Indiana M. Jones Dies at Sani- tarium-Negro Gets Into All Kinds of Troube-Personal
 and General News.

Selma, tebruary 19.-(Special) With the primary election for the nomination of municipal officers but three weeks off 1t Is a little singular how slight the interest is In Selma in the coming event which was wont to be of such moment In former days In the First ward but one candidate has announced for the city council and 1t begins to look as if 1t is going to be some trouble to get another candidate to come out, the char ter requiring two eouncilfnen from each ward.
 In the Second ward there is some lit tie interest taken over the fact that Councilman Kornegay, having moved out of the ward, left a vacancy, his col legeaue, MT. Agee, having announced for reelection. On the same afternoon J. i. Clay and E. F. u1lman announced for the council, making 1t a three-cornered affair. with two candidates to be elected. All three are popular citizens and only the count of the ballots will tell tie result.
 In the Fifth ward there is another three-cornered race for the two places, but there Is rumor that things will be strengthened out before the day of the primary arrives
 No further announcements for the mu- nicpal offices have been made and it looks as if the lists are about closed. Candidates have until Monday week in which to notify the secretary of the com mittee of their intention to run and get their names on the ticket. One or two more may come out but the prospects are that there will not be a great deal of interest taken in any event.
 Death of an Aged Woman.
 Mrs. Indiana M. Jones died at sani- torium in this city Friday night where she had been taken from her home on Union street in the hopes of proionging her life. The deceased was the mother of Mrs. l.. M. Ferguson of this city, j. B. Jones of Marion, and E. H. Jones of Atlanta. She was a member of the Epis- copal church and the funeral took place this morning from St. Pau's church at 10 o'clock
 Played the String Out.
 Bob Lott, well known negro, was be- fore the Mayor yesterday morning with a string of four charges assessed against him. A few days ago while working around the premises of Sheriff Blackwell he knocked the horns off a milch COW with a hoe handle For this offense he was fined $l0. That same day he became disorderly in the city market and for this offense he was fined Sd5. He failed to attend court when summoned and was guilty of contempt of court, and for this offense he was given ten days on the streets. He is alleged to have stolen eight or ten hens and the case was begun yes terday morning but owing to the ab- sence of an important witness a continu- ance was taken until Monday. It seems to be merely question of whether it was eight of ten hens that he purloined, and the Mayor will find this out Monday.

Serious Conditions in Toxic.

Toxic, Sept. 7.-At 3 o'clock this
morning all was quiet in the city, but 1t
is feared that there will be renewal of
the rioting of yesterday in the evening.
Toxic, Sept. Marquis Ito, Japan's
foremost statesman and for years the idol
of the popuace, and Edward u. Harri-
man, the American railway magnate,
we're stoned in the streets here today by
mob, but neither was injured. The
demonstration is regarded as manifes-
tation of the bitterness with which the
japanese have received the news of the
peace terms agreed upon at Portsmouth.
When Marquis Ito and Mr.. Hartman
appeared today together a crowd quickly
gathered. Leaders in the riOting of yes
terday were 10 the crowd, and they began
the jeering at the japanese statesman.
Marquis Ito took the matter coOlly, how
ever, until one threw a stone at him. ln a
moment the crowd had transformed it.
self into a wild mob, and many missiles
we're thrown. The police heard of what
was happening and charge d.the mob, soon
dispensing the people. Marquis Ito is
blamed more than any one else for the
acceptance of Russia's conditions in the
peace terms, and in view of the temper
which has been manifested by the peo-
pie at the outcome of the Portsmouth
conference the demonstration against
him was not so remarkable. The Unit-
ed States is blamed in some quarters for
the loss of an indemnity by Japan and
this may account for the attitude the mob
assumed toward the American 6nancier.
Threats we're made against him during
the outbreak aud Mr.. Hartman was
manifestly worried.
Toxic, Sept. IA mob today burned
the residence of the Minister of the In
terror, Yoshikaws Akimasa.
Toxic, Sept. AFTER attacking the
office of the KOkumiB, the organ oil the
government, as had been described previ-
Ously in these dispatches, the mob was
bent upon msnifestipg its displeasure at
the peace terms and proceeded to the
residence of the Minister of the Interior.
The police guard was overpowered by
the rioters and the building was burned.
The mob then threatened 10 attack the
residences Ofother Cabinet members, but
the police interviewed and forcibly pre-
vented the rioters from doing any further
damage.
