Capt. Cooper is now in Raleigh to see

He arrived here Sunday morning on the

at the Executive office. He was told
that the action of the War Department
was final.

interviewed until the Whole matter is
settled.
Another report is that David B. SUIT
ton, of Wilmington, is to be appointed
Captain. The only reason anyone has
assigned for this is that Sutton is con-
sidered about the most unfit man for the
place in North Carolina and Governor
Russell has the bad habit of selecting
just that class of men.
Still another rumor said it might be

best opinion, though, was that it will be
First Lieutenant and Adiutant David
