Jusi How Poor
Is Mr. Smith?
R. Gregg Cherry, the North
Carolina governor who, during his
administration, turned loose more
Negro prisoners than any other
North Carolina governor m his
, k».vy.. ... i:;,rrvt:t„, .! u.» ™?T
diess in behalf of Willis Smith,
that he was in school with Mr
Smith, that he (Mr Smith) was a
poor boy, the son of a widowed
mother.
In the Martindale-Hubbell Lav
Directory, published before Mi
Smith entered the race for the
United States Senate, there’s a
short biographical sketch of Mr
Smith, It says Mr Smith was born
i in Virginia on December If), 18117;
"admitted to bar, 1 fl 12, North Car
olina Preparatory education, Pri
vate schools, Elizabeth City, N. C .
grad Trinity College (now Duke
1 University), Durham, N. C„ 1910."
The sketch also says he vs.is a
member of three Fraternities; Ol
der of the Coif; Omicron Delta
Kappa; Phi Delta Phi,
There's nothing wrong with fra
j ternities, but "poor" boys nevci
had the big initiation fees and the
| costly dues.
More recently, in addition to re
presenting at least thirty-four cor
porations, Mr, Smith went down
to Morehend City. According to
Roman S Willis of Salter Path,
Carteret County, N C, Mr Smith
j received $219.2!! a day, plus ex
* ponses, as attorney for the receiv
ership trustee of the Madix As
phalt Roofing Corporation, In 1)8
days Mr. Smith reeeved. according
to Mr Willis, a fee of $21,500, plus
personal expenses for his son, his
, secretary and himself, amounting
to $1,(127.77.
Vet, we arc told that he was a
i "poor" boy in college and that he
is ready to swap his annual in
come for that of another indtvid
ual, which, according to Mr Wil
11s, is "like so many of his other
campaign statements that do not
| check very well with his record."

“SOAK THE POOR!”
' Will;-; Smith, on March 17, 1949, stood before a legislative
committee and urged that it be made the law o-f North
Carolinathata retail merchant could not sell any of his mer
chandise for less than cost plus EIGHT PERCENT PROFIT.
The proposal was branded as "UN
FAIR, UNJUST AND UNDEMO -
CRAT 1C ' by Representative R.
Lee Whitmire of Henderson
County,
"A bill DESIGNED TO SOAK THE
POOR" was the comment of Rep
resentative Robert Gantt of Dur
ham County from the floor of the
House,
Witnesses opposing Mr. Smith's proposal fold the commit
tee that the scheme "would force price increases and send
up the cost of living1"
Make up your mind, Mr. Smith!
V/as your heart in it in 1949 when you tried to send up
the cost of living with a bill labelled as UNFAIR, UNJUST
and UNDEMOCRATIC by legislators who killed your
SOAK THE POOR proposal?
Make up your mind, Mr. Smith!
