Archie Barney Smith (July 1, 1896 – October 2, 1951) was a Canadian politician. He represented the electoral district of Cumberland County in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly from 1937 to 1945. He was a member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Nova Scotia.[1]
Born in 1896 at Rodney, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, Smith was a lumber dealer, farmer and contractor by career.[2] He married Agnes Reid in 1919.[2] Smith served as a municipal councillor in Cumberland County for 12 years.[2]
Smith entered provincial politics in 1937, when he was elected in the dual-member Cumberland County riding with Conservative Percy Chapman Black.[3] Following Black's resignation, Smith served with Conservative Leonard William Fraser.[1] In the 1941 election, Smith finished 140 votes ahead of Fraser to win the second seat, with Liberal Kenneth Judson Cochrane winning the first.[4] He was defeated when he ran for re-election in 1945, finishing third behind Cochrane and Liberal Martin J. Kaufman.[5]
On September 26, 1951, Smith was involved in an automobile accident in Kemptown, Nova Scotia. He died as a result of his injuries at Truro on October 2.[2]
