Roger Grant, Committee Chair Dr. Rod Andrew Dr. Alan Grubb ABSTRACT This thesis is intended to demonstrate the tangible reforms initiated by Benjamin Ryan Tillman between 1885 and 1895 for farmers and other citizens of South Carolina. After exploring the most notable historiography surrounding the Tillman era in South Carolina, the thesis examines Tillman’s appeals to the farmers’ depressed condition, the establishment of Clemson Agricultural College, and state-level reforms of business and government institutions. Tillman’s restructuring of the South Carolina Penitentiary, the Lunatic Asylum, and the creation of the state liquor dispensary are shown to be significant accomplishments in the reformer’s political career.

  • A Different State of Mind: Ben Tillman and the Transformation
    A DIFFERENT STATE OF MIND: BEN TILLMAN AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF STATE GOVERNMENT IN SOUTH CAROLINA, 1885-1895 by KEVIN MICHAEL KRAUSE (Under the Direction of Stephen W. Berry) ABSTRACT This dissertation examines Benjamin Ryan Tillman’s political activity in the late 1880s, and governorship in South Carolina from 1890 to 1894. While many historians have focused primarily on Tillman’s white supremacy and class-based demagoguery, this project, through a series of case studies focusing on prominent political issues, suggests that Tillman’s administration understood the role of state government in a dramatically different manner than his Conservative, or “Bourbon,” predecessors, who exhibited reluctance to employ the power of state in most cases. Where Conservatives preferred a minimalist state and elite rule, Tillman and his lieutenants attempted to bolster the power of the state government to empower white agricultural “producers.” The chapters include analyses of the agricultural college debate, reforms to the penitentiary and lunatic asylum, governmental approaches to railroad and phosphate monopolies, the state alcohol dispensary, and the constitutional disfranchisement of African Americans. Despite the reality that many of Tillman’s objectives were not realized by his vision of a sovereign and active state government—such as widespread landownership and prosperity for white, small farmers—his overall philosophy of the active and energetic state, which was in line with many Progressive-era conceptions of government, is worth taking seriously.

    NPH Design Criteria and Other Characterization Information WSRC-TR-00454 For MOX Facility at Savannah River Site Rev. 0 November, 2000 1.3 SITE DESCRIPTION 1.3.1 GEOGRAPHY 1.3.1.1 Location The Plutonium Disposition Facilities are located within the F-Area of the Savannah River Site (SRS). F-Area is approximately centrally located within the SRS. SRS is an approximately circular tract of land occupying 310 square miles (198,344 acres) within Aiken, Barnwell, and Allendale Counties in southwestern South Carolina (Ref. 10). All of the area within a 5-mile (8-km) radius from the center of SRS is government-owned property. The center of SRS is approximately 25 miles (40 km) southeast of the city limits of Augusta, GA; 100 miles (160 kin) from the Atlantic Coast; and about 110 miles (180 kin) south-southeast of the North Carolina border. The SRS is bounded along 17 miles (27 km) of its southwest border by the Savannah River (see Figure 1.3-1). Regional safety considerations for the SRS are considered in the Site Generic Safety Analysis Report (G-GSAR-G-00001, Rev. 4). Approximate distances to other locations of interest are given (in road miles) in Table 1.3-1. The site's location relative to towns, cities, and other political subdivisions within a 50-mile (80-km) radius is shown in Figure 1.3-2. The largest nearby population centers are Aiken, SC, and Augusta, GA (see Figure 1.3-2). The only towns within 15 miles (24 km) of the center of SRS are New Ellenton, Jackson, Barnwell, Snelling, and Williston, South Carolina, which are shown in Figure 1.3-3 (Ref.
