- <p> DIED. Larkin Smith, 45, first-term Republican member of the
- U.S. House of Representatives from Mississippi; in the crash of
- a Cessna; near New Augusta, Miss. Elected sheriff of Harrison
- County in 1984, Smith was credited with reforming the
- scandal-plagued office. He developed a law-and-order image with
- his attacks on drug trafficking along the Gulf Coast. Smith was
- a paradigm of the energetic young G.O.P. legislators who party
- strategists hope will win control of the South -- and Congress
- -- in the 1990s.
