F. A. Whitaker (Dem) Members of the North Carolina General Assembly of 1899–1900 were elected in November 1898. The election saw the Democratic Party return to majority status in both houses, replacing the fusion of Republicans and Populists. After this election, Democrats dominated state politics for the next seventy-plus years, in part due to the 1899–1900 legislature disfranchising African-Americans. The election followed the 1898 Wilmington massacre.

The North Carolina Manual, published by the [[North Carolina Secretary of State]], lists both Smith and Whitaker as President ''pro tempore'' for 1899–1900. Whether this means that they alternated in the post or that Smith resigned and was succeeded by Whitaker mid-session is unknown.
