Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder il
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders.
The purest baking powder makes the finest sweet
est most delicious food The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestble and wholesome
food %"
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
or prize, or at lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sui
phuric acid, and rendei the food ,nwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal, which is absolutely pure.

WHAT THE NEGROES DEMAND.
Something Below the Surface in To-
Days COnventiOn--Is il a Move OF
the Gold Men,

In the call for the negro conference
that assemblies in Metropolitan Hall at
noon to-day the signers say eve de-
sire to say to the politicians of the State
what we believe they should do for the
colored people in industrial pursuits, in
education and in politics. We compose
about three fourths of the voting p0pu-
.lation in the Republican party. We de
sire to use that vote intelligently, 50 that
the results of our voting may redown in
benefit to the whole race, rather than to
few men who attempt to lead
the whole race to get places for
themselves. We want a larger ap,
preparation for schools in the State
We want the colored schools made
equal to the white schools. We want a
c0lored man appointed or nominated to
some Office of dignity and honor in the
State which will reflect credit on the
whole race. We also want an equal dis
tributiOn of the smaller offices in the
State among colOred and whites alike
We realize that if we leave this matter
to the average politician, that we can
never get the recognition demanded
Now is the time for us to speak, and
speak in no uncertain way, so that those
who expect our votes will give us some
consideration. We have been voting
for thirty years, and although the men
we vote for get elected, we are never
theless not benefited. The only way Of
remedying this evil is in union and
expression of the best sentiment of our
people in the State. The time has fully
come for action"
These are bold demands, but those
who sign them are among the leading
negroes in the State. The negroes hold
the balance of power in this State
These promoters say that the negro has
learned his strength, and viii proceed
to use it fer himself, instead of allowing
politicians to manipulate them in the
mass.
1t is said that this convention will
give fusion stab, and Republican Pop
ulist fusion could not win without the
negro vote The leaders in this conven
ton are the opponents of fusion. Cheat
ham and Ed. johnson and John Will
hanson and Henry Christmas are in the
movement.
A"euJy-CWo utlegdleS were mere last
night from New Hanover, Irt dell, Frank
lin, Rockingham, Guilford, Vance, Dur
ham, Rowan and Edgecombe.
"Oaly one man who signed the call
has refused to come" said Johnson last
night, 'and he is said to be crazy now
That is W. T. Young, of Littleton."
Jim Young is not in the convention
and the fu ion crowd are TO be serenely
shut out.
There is talk of something beneath the
surface in this confertu nee. Men who
are on the inside of a1 airs say that this
conference is the fore-runner of move
ment to carry the negro vote of the State
for the gold standard. This is not on
the surface. But while politicians are
calculating, they may figure little in
this quarter.

teacher in our Graded Schools, has re-
signed her position to accept position

connected with the State Normal and

While regretting to lose from our
schools one of the very best teachers in
the State, it is a pleasure to all to see a
promotion come to one who so richly de.
serves it.

teachers in North Carolina the young
women who attend that institution viii

best work in teaching children
The State Normal and Industrial
School and Mrs. Barbee are both to be
