University Provided Willis Smith With
A Law Partner And Future Son-ln-Law
Releigh — Last Sunday's papers
. carried the announcement of the
forthcoming marriage of Raleigh
Attorney Jim Dorsett and Miss
Anna Lee Smith, daughter of
Democratic Senate Nominee Willis
Smith and Mrs. Smith.
r
Back around 1939, Smith was
La Salisbury and as was his habit
stopped for a friendly chat with
his old friend. Banker J. K. Dorsett.
They talked about finances,
the war in Europe, and other
thingB. During the course Of the
conversation, Banker Dorsett casually
remarked that he had a son
studying law at the University of
North Carolina and he thought
this boy might make Mr. Smith a
good junior partner sometime. To
this, of course. Good Friend Smith
agreed.
Time marched on, and in the
spring of 1941 Duke Alumnus
Willis Smith thought it would be
a good idea to have a young Carolina
man in his firm. He picked
up the telephone, called the University'
Law School and told them
he wanted their beat man.
' The reply was that they had
just the man for him. This student,
name of Dorsett, wag not
only tops in the class but was editor
of the Law School's publication,
"Law Review.'' A few days
later they sent him over to sec
Willis Smith.
During the early stages of the
interview. Attorney Smith asked
Dorsett if he happened to be related
in any way to "my old
friend, J. K. Dorsett, who also
lives in Salisbury."
"Yes," replied Jim Dorsett, "he
is my father."
That did it. Smith recalled the
conversation. Jim passed the bar,
joined the Smith firm, and a few
months later was called into the
Bervice, where he spent the next
four years. At that time, Willis
Smith's baby daughter was about
11 years old.
She grew up to be a beautiful
girl, graduating from high school,
about the time. Jim got out of the
service she entered Duke University.
Anna Lee finished last spring
between the first and second primaries.
Jim Dorsett, as mis-ht be
expected, was up to his neck in the
campaign for Smith, but still
found time to carry on his suit
with the Smith daughter.
•That's about all there is to the
story, except that Jim and Anna
Lee will be married, come September,
and that Dorsett Is in the reserve
and hopes Uncle Sam can
stay off his path long enough for
him to finish his honeymoon and
see his father-in-law safely into
the halls of the United States Senate.
