Department of Archives and Special Collections. University, MS 38677, USA Identification: MUM00001 Location: Modern Political Archive Language of Material: English Abstract: Thomas G. Abernethy represented Mississippi in the U.S. House of Representatives between 1943 and 1973. The 454 boxes in this collection contain files created during Abernethy's tenure in office. Administrative Information Acquisition Information In 1972, the University of Mississippi announced that Abernethy had agreed to donate his congressional papers to the university. In 2007, the Abernethy family agreed to donate items previously held by the Webster County Public Library in Eupona, MS to the Thomas G. Abernethy Collection at the University of Mississippi. Processing Information Special Collections compiled a handwritten, folder-level inventory of the papers in 1977, and archives personnel completed a typed, digital version in 2005. In April 2006, Leigh McWhite, the Political Papers Archivist, wrote the text for the introductory bibliographic fields and created an intellectual arrangement version of the finding aid which groups together on the inventory boxes containing like documents, while preserving the original physical arrangement in boxes and folders. EAD encoded finding-aid begun March 29, 2007 by Chatham Ewing. Processing of the 2007 accretion and necessary revisions to the finding aid ended in December of 2007. Finding aid revised by Jason Kovari, 18 April 2011 and updated by Abigail Norris, March 2020. In 2010-2011, a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services enabled the archive to digitize the collection’s lone recording and the archive revised the finding aid accordingly. Additions No further additions are expected to this collection. Alternative Formats Photographs and a description of one recording are available online.

Biographical Note Thomas Gerstle Abernethy was born on 16 May 1903 in Eupora, Webster County, Mississippi. He attended the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa and the University of Mississippi Law School. He graduated from the law school of Cumberland University in Lebanon, Tennessee in 1924. Abernethy began practicing law in his hometown the following year, and he served as mayor of Eupora from 1927 to 1929. He opened another law practice after moving to Okolona in 1929. From 1936 to 1942, Abernethy was the district attorney for the third judicial district of Mississippi. In 1942, Abernethy won election as a Democrat from the northeastern fourth district of Mississippi to the U.S. House of Representatives. In 1943-1944, he chaired the Committee on Elections No. 1 which judges the elections, returns, and qualifications of House members and deals with contested elections. The only serious reelection contest Abernethy faced occurred in 1952 after Mississippi underwent reapportionment following the loss of a congressional seat. Abernethy successfully campaigned against fellow Democratic colleague John Rankin (in the U.S. House of Representatives since 1920) to win the seat for the first district which encompassed the central portions of the state from the Delta counties along the Mississippi River to the hill counties along the Alabama border. Abernethy served as a delegate to the Democratic National Conventions in 1948, 1956, and 1960. In 1972, he announced his decision not to run for reelection. When Abernethy retired on 3 January 1973, he had the third highest seniority on the Agriculture Committee, chaired its Cotton Subcommittee, and served on its Department Operations Subcommittee. Tom Abernethy, Jr. once explained that his father was "tied into the farming community of Mississippi...If he had not cared so much about those issues, Dad probably would have been chairman of a committee long before he left Congress. But he wanted to stay on the Agriculture Committee. He wanted to be the farmers' representative. He loved the farmer." His former colleague, G.V. "Sonny" Montgomery called Abernethy "a crusader in the development of agriculture programs in Congress." Abernethy also attained the second highest ranking on the District of Columbia Committee which governs the capitol city. He served on its Business, Commerce and Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee, and chaired its Education Subcommittee as well as its Judiciary Subcommittee. A conservative Democrat during his political career, Abernethy increasingly endorsed and voted for Republicans after his retirement. He died of heart failure in a Jackson, Mississippi nursing home on 11 June 1998. In a tribute on the floor of the U.S. Senate the following day, Thad Cochran lauded Abernethy as "a close friend and an advisor...I always found his advice and counsel very valuable and helpful." Abernethy was a Methodist and a member of the Freemasons, the Shriners, the Exchange Club, and the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. He married the former Alice Margaret Lamb on 5 July 1936. All three of their children graduated from the University of Mississippi: Gail Abernethy Doty (Class of 1961), Tom Abernethy, Jr. (Class of 1964, Law School 1970), and Kay Abernethy Martin (Class of 1967). In 1962, Abernethy received the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation's award for "outstanding and meritorious service to agriculture." In 1964, the Disabled American Veterans presented him with the National Commander's Award for "his long years of dedicated service in behalf of America's war disabled veterans." In a 1974 letter, however, Abernethy claimed that the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway would "undoubtedly to be my greatest service to Northeast Mississippi and the mid-south area." A federal building in Aberdeen, Mississippi is named after the former congressman.

  • The Long Red Thread How Democratic Dominance Gave Way to Republican Advantage in Us House of Representatives Elections, 1964
    THE LONG RED THREAD HOW DEMOCRATIC DOMINANCE GAVE WAY TO REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE IN U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTIONS, 1964-2018 by Kyle Kondik A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Baltimore, Maryland September 2019 © 2019 Kyle Kondik All Rights Reserved Abstract This history of U.S. House elections from 1964-2018 examines how Democratic dominance in the House prior to 1994 gave way to a Republican advantage in the years following the GOP takeover. Nationalization, partisan realignment, and the reapportionment and redistricting of House seats all contributed to a House where Republicans do not necessarily always dominate, but in which they have had an edge more often than not. This work explores each House election cycle in the time period covered and also surveys academic and journalistic literature to identify key trends and takeaways from more than a half-century of U.S. House election results in the one person, one vote era.

  • History of Agricultural Price-Support and Adjustment Programs, 1933-84
    legislation covered the 1953 and 1954 crops of basic commodities if the producers had not disapproved marketing quotas and also extended, through 1955, the requirement that the effective parity price for the basic commodities should be the parity price computed under the new or the old formula, whichever was higher. Extra-long staple cotton was made a basic commodity for price support purposes. TOWARD FLEXIBLE PRICE SUPPORTS At the end of the Korean War in 1953, the specter of surpluses once again dominated agricultural policymaking. The debate over levels of support (high and fixed versus a flexible scale) was renewed. The administration of Secretary Ezra Taft Benson increasingly favored flexible supports which would drop as supplies increased. Most Congressmen from agricultural districts, on the other hand, wanted to continue fixed supports. A growing number of agricultural economists moved from their near unanimous preference for flexible supports in the late 1940s to a belief that only strong production controls and high price supports could assure acceptable farm income in a period of growing productivity. For the immediate postwar period, USDA commodity programs continued much as before. Support levels for basic crops remained at 90 percent of parity for 1953 and 1954. Secretary Benson proclaimed marketing quotas for the 1954 wheat and cotton crops on June 1, 1953, and October 9, 1953, respectively. The major types of tobacco and peanuts continued under marketing quotas. Quotas were not imposed on corn but corn acreage allotments were reinstated in 1954 for the first time since before World War II (with the brief exception of 1950).

This article examines and questions the conventional view of the conference as a challenge to President Lincoln's efficacy as the nation's leader. Rather, the article suggests that Lincoln may have actually welcomed the conference and had his own designs for how it might bolster his political objectives.
