It wat then that tht Smithfield delegation mad thomaelveg prominently known. The argumrnt on the merits of the bill began with Representative Grhnthkm's speech, he "who started all this row," when tht Repretentatlva formally Intra dneed the bill to tha eotntnKte that would take away parta of SampwrJ, Johnston and Harnett End make Dunn the capital of tht county that would bear the nam of th lamented following Mr. Oraatham, Ernest'T.
