EXHIBIT OF PAINTINGS
WORK OF MEMBERS OF SOCIETY OF
WESTERN ARTISTS.
One of the Encouraging Features of
the Exhibition Is Interest
Shown by the Public.

One Of the encouraging features in cen
nection with the present exhibition OF the
Society of Western Artists at the Heron
Art Institute is the interest shown by the
public. as proven by the large number Of
visitors attending, not alone last Sunday
afternoon, when the rooms were comfort
ably filled up to the closing hour, but also
during the entire past week, both day and
evening.
This establishes the fact that for Indian
apolis, its surrounding country and nearby
cities the Art Institute has a mission to
fulfill and meets a long-felt want 1t goes
to show also that the people Of this COM
munity, well those OF other cities
where the Society of Western Artists have
exhibited, are alive 70 the fact that there
are in the middle West a number Of capa-
BILE artists possessing the power TO express
themselves with individuality and knowl-
edge
The present exhibit is interesting in that
there is great variety, not alone in the
themes chosen. but in the manner OF treat
ment, and, while the landscape naturally
predominates. there is a gOOdly sprinkling

water colors and pastels. and some sculp-
ture represented by photographs
AS a striking piece Of technique may be
Waldeck, OF St. Louis. which ranks as one
of the very best examples OF brush work
ever done by a member OF the society. a
less obstrusive but more refined piece Of
painting is the head OF an old woman, by
Paulus. Of Detroit which is much like the
best OF the Dutch masters-a good thing
for students 10 look at and study. and
which il would be well 10 have in the per-
manent collection OF the institute.

SPITE-FENCE CASE ENDS.
James Russell and Wife, the Build
ers, Fined $40 and Costs.

Judge Afford, of the Criminal Court, yes
terday fined James Russell and wife $40 and
costs for maintaining a nuisance, which is
the last chapter in the "spite-fence" litiga-
ton that has now been recited in the
Justice of the Peace, Superior and Criminal
courts. The trouble grew out of family
feud between the Russells and George KIM
and his wife, their neighbors, who live in
an adjoining house on DuSdale street.
Mrs Russell charged that Mrs. KIM made
ugly faces a. her every time she had COM
pany and she had high board fence
built between the yards. Later, similar
fence was placed on a lot owned by the
Russells on the other side of the KIM
house, hemming the KIM house in. The
kinzes then brought suit for damages and
recovered a judgment for SIS. An affidavit
was also filed against the Russells, charg-
ing them with maintaining nuisance, and
after being tried before Justice Enrich the
case was appealed TO the Criminal Court.

GOOD ROADS WORK

The Executive Committee of the North
Carolina Good Roads Association met at
the office of the Commissioner OF Agrl-
culture yesterday morning. There were
present Mr.. P. H. Hanes, of Winston
Salem, the president of the Association;
Honorable s. L. Patterson, COMMISSION
er of Agriculture Mr.. Joseph q. brown
Treasurer of the Association; Mr.. Paui
Garrett, of Weldon; Professor J. A
Holmes, Secretary of the Association,
and Mr.. R. H. Sykes, Assistant Secre-
tary of the Association. Prof. w. G.
Riddick, of the Agricultural and Me-
chanical College, and Judge A. w. Ora
ham, the other two members of the AS
ISOLATION, were unable to attend.
The Secretary reported to the meeting
the present condition of the good roads
movement in North Carolina and the
plans now under way for pushing this
movement forward.
The Association at present has men,
pershlp of nearly six hundred repre-
Sentlng every section of the State, and it
IS steadily increasing. The members OF
the Executive Committee feel greatly en-
couraged by the fact that the good roads
movement in the State is now growing
rapidly. Interest in the subject is being
manifested in many counties where in
the past nothing Whatever has been
done along this line.
The facts concerning the progress of
the good roads movement in the State
are now being collected by the secre-
tary. The returns already received from
y of the 81 counties in the State show
the following results: Twenty counties
are using convict labor in their road
work; Ii counties are using improved
road machinery; 4 counties, (Edgecombe.
Forsyth, CASTOR and Lenoir), have
abandoned the labor system entirely and
are now working their roads by taxa
ton alone; Is of these counties are work.
ing their roads partly by taxation and
partly by labor system; So of the coun-
ties are working the roads under the
old labor law system. These facts indi-
cate the large amount of educational
work yet to be done in North Carolina
by the Association and by the friends of
this movement.
