AS stated IN the Argus some days
ago, Captain S. Cohen, who has for
SO many years, been the commanding
officer of the Goldsboro Rifles, Co.
D has recently been promoted to the
position of Inspector Of Small Arms
Practice of the Second Regiment and
as on account of this change, Captain
Cohen had to sever his connection
with his old company, an election was
| held at, the Armory of the company
on Thursday night to choose Captain
| Cohen's successor.
The unanimous choice fell to Lieut.
| n. R. Morgan, who has filed the
place Of 1st Lieutenant in the compa-
ny during the past six years. Lieut.
Morgan was the only candidate for
| this highest office in the company and
| the entire company was practically
as one man In expressing their wish.
The same was the case in selecting
the successor to the position thus va
Gated by Lieut.. Morgan, Second Lieu
i tenant E. A. Simkins being elected to
the position of 1st Lieutenant, with
out a dissenting vote.
| Mr.. W, S. Granger, who has been
for years a member of this company
and who has held various positions
as non Commissioned officer in the
coulpanT. was chosen to fill the Sec
/ one Lieatenant's place.
Captain Cohen, in a few Well-chos-
en- words, said his official farewell to
his old comrades, stating that he
lsevered his connection with Co. D re-
luctantly, but that he felt, that being
called 80 a wider field OF work, he
would still have an opportunity to
shelp CO. d, along with the other or
Examinations of the Guard, of which he
will have entire charge in all matters
srelatiye to indoor and outdoor target
Ishooting.
| The company as reluctantly parted
with their old commanding officer,
who has done SO much at al xrI.nes to
bring the company up to it's pres ant
proud position in the military OF this
State
! These sentiments were feelingly
treciprocated by the newly chosen
tain Cohen was elected an honorary
member of the company.
| The Argus, ever alive to an that
pertains to the public Institutions of
our fair city, and realizing that our
military has refeeted the greatest
credit on our city and it's people at
/ all times, notes with qualification the
result of the election held. And while
we, too, are sorry to see Captain
| Cohen re1inquish command OF Co. D,
we are glad that due honor and pro-
motion have come to our young
friend, and we feel that the new Off
GERS of Co. D will keep that organiZa-
tion ever up in the front rank with
the best in the State, and we, there
fore, extend to them our heartiest
congratulations
Success to you, gentlemen, and
success to the organization of which
we all feel so proud. None will watch
your progress and note your excel
lence and success with more pride
and pleasure than the Argus, and if
you need a word of cheer to help you
over the rough places, such as we
all must encounter at times, the
Argus will speak it in season and
gladly.
We've got The Best Town in the
State, our every public institution is
second to none anywhere and we feel
assured that under its new regime
Co. d will continue to merit the slo-
gan Of the Argus,-We Go Forward!
