    Bill Cook was sworn in as the new Senator from the First District Sunday night in the Beaufort County Superior Courtroom before a large crowd of hometown supporters as well as those from other counties in the district. North Carolina's newly install Lt. Governor Dan Forest attended and gave brief congratulatory remarks as did Supreme Court Justice Mark Martin.
