Whereas, Bobby O. Smith has served Jasper County as a magistrate with great distinction since his first appointment; and

Whereas, the State of South Carolina has been well-served by this fine South Carolinian during his time on the bench, and he will be sorely missed. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly commend Magistrate Bobby O. Smith of Grays, South Carolina, for a distinguished magisterial career in Jasper County upon his retirement as magistrate.
