New Exhibitors
In lieu of some of these absentees are
number of new or infrequent exhibitors.
Mrs. e. B. Sherman shows for the first
time landscape, 1.-THE Still Stream" Miss
study; Miss Annie D. Kelly some note
worthy daffodils. Miss Helen Nicolay is
again represented, and worthily; Miss Alice
Willoughby, Miss Blanche Hamilton and
Miss Sawtele are numbered with the con-
tributors. Mr.. Carl Smith, whose work
should undoubtedly have been mentioned
earlier In the review, sends this year
Dutch outdoor figure study which pos
sesses many commendable qualities, and a
transcription of quiet nook ct Berkeley
which is conspicuous for its urC ssumlng
merit. Miss Peixotto contributes clever
study of donkey's head, and Miss Con-
stance White is represented by an excellent
transcription of fox. In black and white
there are but two exhibits, admirably mod
eled study heads by Mr.. di Nestf. and n
the section devoted to miniatures there are
but three. likenesses by Miss Mary X. Por-
ter of her father and mother and an appeal
ing little child's portrait by Miss Fannie
Evans.
This virtually completes the exhibition
and suggests it's character. Many will wish
to linger over the exhibits which of neceS-
sity have been passed with word. There
Is almost none which is not worthy OF
critical examination, and few. indeed, In

Clubs auspices. and there is little doubt
popular appreciation.

WATER COLOR EXHIBIT
Opened With a Private View
This Afternoon.
A CREDITABLE DISPLAY
PRIZES BY TRUSTEES OF COR
CoRAN GALLERY OF ART.
Show Will Be Open to Public Three
Weeks, Beginning
Monday.

The tenth annual exhibition Of the Wash
ington Water Color Club opens today with
a private view and reception In the hemi-
cycle of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and
from Monday, November 20 to Saturday,
December s, will be free to the public on
every weekday and Sunday afternoon.
1t IS in every respect a creditable
little display, challenging comparison with
the best that are held in our neighboring
cities. A single row of paintings runs the
length of the semi-circular wall opposed
by well-arranged groups on the fiat partl-
ton. There are less than ninety exhibits
enough to be fairly comprehensive and to
be seen without fatigue. The aim of the
jury of selection was to make the standard
sufficiently high to have the admission of
a painting an unmistakable honor, and in
this it has certainly succeeded.
An exhibition Is, in a measure, like the ira
ditional grab-bag, inasmuch as no one can
tell until the entries are examined how it
will turn out. Its character is determined
by the jury of selection, but unless it be a
matter of special invitation its compost
ton, its substance, is furnished by unre-
lated contributors. with the result that an
harmonious whole is ofttimes an impossi-
blity. In this respect the fates have been
uncommonly kind to the present exhibition.
The works contributed have proved not
only meritorious, but fairly uniform in size
and complimentary in character. They
distinctly help each other, and while no.

More Pictorial Than Usual.

The paintings themselves are more pic
torial than usual this year, but, at the
same time, no less true. Sincerity is IN
fact, the keynote of the show, for, while
diversity of vision and inequality of skill
are manifested. each work has apparently
been produced with serious purpose and de-
termined zeal. Some are undoubtedly stud
les, but even they are thoughtful and more
or less mature. There are, in ALL few
amazingly clever works none that are flip
pant or extreme, but many which are ably
set forth and of more than passing import.
Pictures which should find their way into
the homes of private collectors-persons
who purchase paintings not as simple in
vestments, but rather on account of their
intrinsic and individual charm.
Though the lists of this exhibition We're
open to works in a variety of mediums II
has resolved Itself almost entirely into a
water color show, which, In a way, is emf
nently satisfactory. Water color is a much
maligned medium, considered by many to
be suitable for the use of amateurs and
men or high award 1t is supposedly trivial

museums have, it is true. given water COL
orists but scanty patronage. That It has
field of Its own, however, has been demon
strated, and that for the production or
transcription of certain effects it Is Pc
culiarly fitted the present exhibition bears
ample testimony.
The Corcoran Gallery of Art, through its
board of trustees, has done much toward
stimulating the work OF local painters and
fostering an interest In current exhibitions.
Not only has 1t furnished gratuitously for
six years the hall in which the local ex-
hibitions have been held, but II has estab-
lished prizes which, while. comparatively
modest, lend zest to the events. Two have
been allotted annually to the Water Color
Club, one of 800 and the other of $50 for
the first and second best paintings or pic
lures shown in the exhibition.

The jury to award these prizes this year
was composed of Messrs. S. Edwin White

Public Spirit.
confirm i

"There is nothing more profitable
to a city or a community" says an
exchange, ethan a few public spirit
ed citizens who are always driving
at something to build up and beauti-
fy. Even the croaker will some
times poke his head out of his shell
and say amen It's a splendid rem
edy, whether in the commercial
channels Or ON the farms and public
Highways"
Such citfzens-even though they
be but few-have a wholesome in
fuence. They are the life OF
any town, and without them a town
is a subject for pity. Every public
spirited citizen is worth thousands o.
dollars to a town, even if he has nc
large property holdings. His ex-
ample is helpful, as observation ha;
repeatedly demonstrated.

The A. & N. G. r.. r. Lease

Bayboro Sentinel, Feb. 2.
We are not inclined to stand by
the Rowland Improvement Com
pany's lease Of the A. & n. G. r. h.
if they be doing anything purposely
to the detriment of this section of the
State, nor can we see how they can
afford to do such. It seems to us
that if the lessee company expects
much from this property they must
run it upon such plain, practical
business principles as will tend to
build up this whole section of the
country--not a few, but the many
business industries in this section. So
long IS they run it upon purely bust
ness principles, we can see no cause
to complain. Every success full bust
ness man has to do the SAME i'll his
business, and we ought not to com
plain of others for doing that which
we do ourselves.
Our opinion is that we ought no
to complain and kick too hurriedly
Watch and wait, give time for re-
suits. AS a citizen of amlico county:
we favor the lease an d so does nearly
every other citizen of the county,
We think the Legislature ought to
confirm it.

PrOtracted Services.

The meetings in progress in the
Presbyterian church, notwithstand-
ing the unfavorable weather for the
past few days, have been regularly
held, and the attendance hes been,
under the circumstances, fairly good,
and all who have attended have
been deeply impressed by the earn
est and eloquent presentation of the
Truth by the Rev. Mr.. Shields.
It is earnestly hoped, now that the
weather has become more favorable,
that many more will avail them
selves of the opportunity of hearing
the Truth from the lips of this de-
voted servant of God.
Two meetings are held each day,
one at 1880 a. M, the other at 100
p. M, to which all are cordially in
Vited.

WHAT THE WARD BILL
DOES.
Raleigh News and Observer.

tift Eft Il
The Vigorous attack upon the Ward
bill, accompanied freely by predlc-
lions that its passage would defeat
the Democratic party, has caused
some people to think it is a bill with
hoofs and horns. In order to show
that it is a mild and conservative
measure, the full text of the mea-
sures is printed elsewhere. That
! bill does three things:
1. Forbids any distillery in a Town
/ having a population of less than
1000. Experience has shown that
distilleries can dominate a little
towo, ard for the protection of all
small towns in the future as well as
to end Williams, Shore, Jason, Ad-
vance and other like distillery to Nns,
this provision is Incorporated.
2. Makes specific and effective
regulations insuring police protection
where liquor is sold.
8. Makes the taking out of Fed
'eral license to retail prima facie evil
denence that the party taking such
license is guilty of retailing.
These three simple and necessary
provisions ought Aot to occasion any
body the least alarm. There enact
ment ends the need for local legisla-
ton now demanded to abolish Shore,
Williams, Advance, Jason and other
towns. But it does more: it saves
the next Legislature from the trou'
BILE of considering like appeals, for, i
these still towns are abolished, they
will move into other little places
already incorporated and the "sore
spots" now at Williams, Shore, Ad
vance and Jason will be transferred
. to other towns. Is it not better tt
: ~settle the problem of these little still
, towns once for all and prevent fur
Their agitation?

THE POETIC GINSENG.

The following note of explanation
and accompanying poem came to us
this morning from Representative
Hollowell, that we are sure will be-
as are all his writings-enjoyed by
ARGUS readers:
Raleigh, Feb. 9, 1905.
DEAR "JoE ARGUs":-There Was
a spirited discussion of an hour in
the House a few days ago, over a
bill protecting the growing of gin
5eng, pronounced gensang,) a new
industry in some of the Western
counties. 1t is said to be immensely
valuable, and those raising it are by
the bill required to enclose it with "a
barbed wire fence ten feet high, and
on account OF its value the punish
ment for stealing it was put at fifteen
years; the discussion was over the
excessive punishment, the. question
being whether it should be any more
than for any other case of larceny,
I, the term Of imprisonment was An
ally fixed at five years.
On account of the name of-the pro-
duct, or something else, caused me
to become very much interested in
the discussion, and upon going to
bed last night every time L would
get to sleep 1 would dream about gin
seng. I dreamed 1 was sick and L
was being given ginseng tea. Upon
awakening L imagined L could taste
ginseng. And while lying awake
trying to get the imaginary taste out
of my mouth, the following lines
came to my mind:
Ginseng! Ginseng!
A plant with such a name,
1t puts me wondering what it's like,
And the place from whence 1t
came.
A priceless herb, whose very name
Creates a mystic charm;
And every man is a millionaire
That owns an acre farm.
Ginseng! Ginseng!
An herb so very rare,
That this great commonwealth o
ours
Bestows protecting care.
Five years await the guilty ope
Who gets it on the sly,
Though he climbs a barbed wir
fence
/ That measures ten feet high.

gotten out by the Rowland Improve
ment Company?
1t is a handsomely illustrated and
instructive epitome oil the marvellous
A1rces and p~leasurable attractions

The Greensboro Telegram of yes
terday, (Sunday;) in speaking of it,
says:
1.-THE Rowland Improvement
Company, of Goldsboro, has issued a
neat and attractive folder which con-
tains the schedule of the passenger
trains of the A. & n. G. r. r., and
is al the same time descriptive of the
country which is traversed by the
railroad.
"When II reflects on the mighty
forests o splendid timber, the rich
agricultural resources, and the I'M
rivalled opportunities for fishing
which the waters of this region af-
ford, one naturally feels a degree of
Lstonishment that the road has not
been more prosperous.
1--WE are of the opinion that this
property now has what it has needed
for some time, an active, energetic
management that will seek the de.
velopment Of the country through
which the road runs as a means fol-
bringing it up to that position which
il should occupy in the affairs of the
State"
