Cooper came to Wilmington as a boy, from the farm, opportunities were far less abundant than now for ^oung men.. He began to work for wages of one dollar a day, mastering step rw k CinAaa in urii Via tion Constitutional Amendment, which he pressed to final passage. He introduced, in the Senate of 1919, the State Farmers Ware house Bill, and pressed it to pas sage. Mr. Cooper was appointed as a member of the Board of Trus tees of the A. & M.

In recognition of his demon strated capacity he was elected president of the Produce Ex change, (now the Chamber of Commerce), and later he served two terms as president of the Wilmington Merchants Associa tion. He became widely known in business circles throughout North and South Carolina. In 1908 he organized and became the 'first president of the American Na tional Bank of Wilmington, which institution met with signal suc cess until 1914 when it was con solidated with the Atlantic Trust & Banking Company, which met with great success.

It would seem that this is pe culiarly a time when men of tried and demonstrated experience and ability should be called to high and | important offices. It is only proper that the voters should know ( of the qualifications of those who seek their suffrage. Mr. Cooper's friends, in pro- j senting his name to the Democracy of North Carolina, for Lieutenant Governor, believe that they pre sent a man who, if chosen, pos seses the qualifications required for this high office, and one who will labor unceasingly in the inter' est of the people and sustain the high traditions of the Democratic Party.
