is a great believer in progression, and
always does all in his power to push his
State forward His work in the inter-
est of his race is too well known to need
any commentator from our pen and
merits its own reward. Representative
Smith believes that the government of
the various sections of the State should
be given into the hands of the property
elements. He introduced resolution
which was ratified, the outcome of which
should give S1,500,000 to the colored
race, that was lost TO them II years
ago by the failure of the F'reedman's
Saving and Trust Company. As above
stated he is always liberal in his views

for its basis the benefit of the people

committee work, being chairman Of the
committee on Salaries and Fees and a
member Of the committees on Fish aud

time for fogy ideas. He has made legions
OF friends among the people at RALEIGH
