At a recent meeting of the local school board, Supt. T.H. Franks made the announcement that he would not be a candidate for reelection as superintendent of the Smithfield Graded School. He stated that he expects to give up teaching. Mr. franks with this year will complete his 17th year in school work, the past five years having been spent in Smithfield. The school here has gone forward under his management, the enrollment in both white and colored schools now running above 1,500.The high school pupils have more than doubled. He has proved a good school executive in holding down the school expenses and withal has given this district a good school. Mr. Franks received his license to practice law last year, but as yet has not decided where he will locate.
