It cannot be ascertained just when the reception of Col. Cox's troops will take place, but presumably within a week, and many people from, various sections of the state will come to wit ness and join in the demonstration. Some of the so-called political ex pert ws paper writers are already handing out a line of dope as - to the nolitirfll honors which will be proffered to Col. Cox, who is the son of Generafj W. R. Cox, who represented the Ral eigh district in Congress for a number of years. - This writer knows Col.
