Mr Smith attended the University of South Carolina and is an alumnus of Wofford College. He received his master’s degree at Vanderbilt University, the great Methodist in- stution of the South. He comes of distinguished ances tors, being a brother of the lament ed Bishop A Coke Smith. Mr Smith is an orator of national reputation would be able to hold his own with the “giants” of the Senate. With Smith in the United States Senate, South Carolina would again come into her own and be heard from by the rest of the country. Mr Smith has a world of energy; he would not only hold his own on the floor of the Senate, but his energetic work in the committee room would count for South Carolina. ~ Little Miss Mamie Lee Linder of Savannah returned home after spending some time with her grand parents. “Boor Bete ? * BUCKHEAD SCHOOL DEBAT- 1NG SOCIETY' Smoaks, Aug. 81—Special: The Buckhead school debating society met Saturday evening at 8 o’clock, presided over by Bres.
