C. n> he a brother Of Frank Williamson, nine of the finest fellows at Wake For est in the late eighties, graduating in ]Sn!>, I believe. The late Mr. B. P. Williamson was at that time one of tlie most prosper ous and well known citizens of Ra leigh. Frank had what only a very few college men of that day had— money to lift his college career above the pinch of poverty. He and the two Vpchureh boys, also of Raleigh, and tli" two Felts boys of Pennsylvania were accounted the wealthy boys of the college. The Upchurch brothers were the greater spenders1—it was ru mored that they each were allotted ssiin a year for college and personal expenses—a sum equaling the income of many of the better-to-do families of ihe State. - Carl Williamson at that time was a mere baby, if born at all. Frank’s mother was a Williamson even before her marriage to B. P. Williamson Miss Belle Williamson. Carl's was Miss Elia S. Miab a member of the rather prominent Mini family of Wake. Carl thinks he perhaps as a tot saw his older half-brother, but cannot re member him at that early .date. The older brother got over into the Phll lipines during the Spauish-AmdriCrtn War and there tarried fOr thirty years—a record period for an Ameri can to retain his health in that, tropi cal land. He employed the business *ense inherited from his father and developed orange and cocoanxit groves. But finally he returned to America—a perfect stranger to his half-brother, now the genial aiid efficient postinas ler of the Capital City. ' t Not long tarrying ip.

Ay lee Stiihfiieti for rite Sedate, 12tfi tiisfmt Here is a picture of the editor’s next-door neighbor and one of the nominees of the 12th senatorial dis trict for the State Senate. He is a gentleman of line physique and line mentality. He is one of the throng of Saihjtsoh-born folk who live in Dunii and have so largely helped make it what it is. His brother, Rev. Eure Lee, is a well known Sampson county minister. Mr. Lee has long resided in Diinu and is a druggist of considerable ex perience. Little or nothing was said during the campaign as to Mr. Lee’s attitude toward the sales tax, but it may be taken for granted that he is “again it.” However, it is well that he hos made no public pledge against that tax hut has left liimself free to use his best judgment when the needs of the State ate before hint and the sources front which revenue may be derived have been thoroughly can vassed. Tbfe writer ha's Several tithes expressed the sentiment that candi dates should licit pledge themselves in either' Way in respect to this tax. However, if the tax is levied'again. Senator Lee and all other legislators can flhd a good job hr improving the adniriniktration of the tax. The other member of the senate froth the 12th district wilt" probably be that veteraii legislator t’nioh L. iSpeiice of Moore. The district em braces Harnett, Hoke, Moore, and Randolph, the latter a county differing lit niany respects from the other three, as it is a piedmont county.

LUTHER HAMILTON ' Opposing Graham Barden in > Third Congressional District A Mount Olive Attorney ' The Grady family, of Duplin and Wayne, inspired doubtless, by the ca reer of the late B. F. Grady, long time teacher and Third District con gressman for two terms, has been fur nishing North' Carolina quite a num ber of lawyers and other professional men within the last forty or fifty years. Attorney A. S. Grady is one of them. He began his practice at the ,goodly town of Mount Olive as a youth 'and is still on the job. He is a fine fel low and from the following quotation from a recent letter it is apparent that he knows a good thing wh'On he sees if. ‘T wish,’’ writes Mr. Grady, ‘'that all periodicals and other publications . could lie hase<V on a high plane and have as clear a tone and he as clean as The State's Voice.
