Before the colored graded school

with absolute truth The influence
of this school for good upon the

The convention was very
poorly attended, when compared
with former conventions anC
there was a sad lack of the old
time enthusiasm that has ani'
mated so many gatherings o
this kind.
More than a fourth of tn,
counties were not represented
and many of those thas we're rep
resented had only one or tw'
delegates present. In fact, Wake
lChatham and Franklin ha'
about half the delegates in tn
convention.
Half an hour after the conven
ton was called to order a coun

result:
In the gallery there were 5
negroes and 9 white men and
boy.
On the floor of the hall Their
were 800 white people and 2 ne
,groes-Wm. Rogers of the Re-
enue Department and Z. a. Wi
son, of Harris store precinct

fourths of the 800 white peopl
present were delegates. The 9th
