JONES, 1848-1913: EDITOR AND PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRAT By Thomas S. Graham June, 1973 Chairman: Dr. Samuel Proctor Major Department: History The present study is an examination of the life and career of Charles H. Jones. Born in Talbotton, Georgia, before the Civil War, Jones went to New York after the end of that conflict in 1865. He became a contributor to several popular magazines, editor of the Eclectic and co-editor of Appleton's Journal , and a writer and editor for D. Appleton Company and Henry Holt. He came to Florida in 1881 and established the Jacksonville Florida Daily Times , merging it with the Jacksonville Daily Florida Union in 1883 to form the Jacksonville Florida Times -Union . He was active in state and national politics and also took part in the formation of the National Editorial Association and the American Newspaper Publishers Association. In 1887 he became part-owner and editor of the St. Louis Republic . He left the Republic in 1893, becoming editor of the New York World , and then, from 1895 to 1897, the editor of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch . During this time he remained active in politics, both on the state and national levels. He drafted the Democratic platforms of 1892, 1896, and 1900. He was a correspondent of both Grover Cleveland and William Jennings Bryan. This study is based on the publications written or edited by Jones, other contemporary publications, and considerable manuscript material, including the Charles H. Jones papers. This study examines Jones' involvement in the intellect- ual, social, political, and business questions of the second half of the 19th century. It is particularly concerned with newspaper history, partisan politics, and major political issues. vi CHAPTER I A GEORGIA BOY ON PARK ROW The town of Talbotton lies northeast of Columbus in the clay hills of Georgia. In antebellum days it was a small but bright and prosperous community of well kept homes surrounded by vegetable and flower gardens. Being the county seat and the only town in the area it was a center of social life and education. It was there that Charles Henry Jones was born on March 7, 1848. His mother Susan Eleanor Jones was the daughter of Stephen Greene, a cousin of General Nathanael Greene, of Revolutionary War fame, and a cotton buyer in Savannah for a New England mill. Charles's father was George Washington Jones, son of a Delaware farmer, who was a dentist and part-time physician for a health resort at nearby Warm Springs. George W. Jones was a dark and laconic man, aloof from his children and rigid in his ideas about family order. He had come to Savannah where he met and married his wife. Later he moved to Albany, where his first son James was born. In 1884 the family moved to Talbotton where a daughter Mary was born, followed by Charles, 2 a daughter Sidonia, and another son George. Susan Jones was a serious, diminutive woman of such poor health that she was confined to her home for many years of Charles Jones's childhood. She was intelligent and cultivated. and was very active in the local Episcopal church. Of her Jones would later write: "She was in many respects the most remarkable woman I have known, and she was so much to me that it is hard for me to analyze or discriminate. She trained my mind and moulded my character. To her more than to all other human beings, more than to all other influences combined, I am indebted for what I am, for what I have been, and for what I have done in the world." J According to Jones's account of his education, he learned to point out the twenty-six letters of the alphabet in his father's prayer book before he could speak, and by the age of four he was studying geography, arithmetic, grammar, and history. Part of his lessons involved recitation of long passages memorized verbatim from the text of school books. His mother demanded that he master these lessons with perfection, seldom offering encouragement or praise. At an age when most children are just beginning to learn to read, he had a tutor, first for Latin and then Greek. At the age of eleven he was enrolled as a day student at Collingsworth Institute, a boarding school for boys located in Talbotton. Because of the thorough education that he had received at home the teachers at Collingsworth set up a special course for him and one other advanced student. Despite the demands of his studies, Jones used his spare time to read every book that he could borrow. Sir Walter Scott was the popular southern poet and novelist of that day, but Jones also read Goldsmith, Bunyan, Defoe, and any book of history or biography that he could lay his hands on. "Drum and trumpet" histories were his favorite. An effort was made to enroll him at the University of Georgia at age thirteen, Jones recalled, but he was refused because of his youth. The austere educational regime imposed by his mother, combined with the absence of fatherly affection, had, as Jones later realized, "a lasting influence upon my character, affect- ing my conduct, my attitude towards others, even my views of life. One result of this attitude of both my parents has been that during all my life it has been difficult for me to give expression to my feelings in the customary ways. A reserve, a reticence, a habit of self-repression has always held me back, even when I was conscious of it and tried to overcome it."-' Whether from his family life or from the praise he gained because of his early precociousness, Jones developed other lasting traits of character. The "instinct of competition," the drive to excel at every undertaking was apparent in him from his youth. Combined with this striving for success was a desire that it be rewarded with recognition, and even in childhood "gratification of vanity" became a primary motivating force. Competition for success and thirst for praise were to be the theme of his life.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

  • 4.0 Historical Overview
    4-1 4.0 HISTORICAL OVERVIEW The following overview traces the historical development of the general study area from the European settlement through the twentieth century. The intent of this overview is to serve as a guide to field investigations by identifying the possible locations of any historic cultural resources within the project area and to provide expectations regarding the potential historic significance of any such sites. It also provides a context with which to interpret any historic resources encountered during the study. 4.1 European Contact and Colonial Period (1513–1821) Three Native American ethnic groups were known to inhabit east central Florida at the time of Spanish contact: the Ais, the Mayaca, and the Jororo. The Ais lived along the Atlantic Coast and were closely involved with the Spanish. They inhabited the coastal strand and Indian River areas at this time. They apparently mixed indigenous hunting/gathering/fishing economy with the salvaging of Spanish shipwrecks (Milanich 1995:64-65). The Mayaca and Jororo peoples occupied an area from north-central Florida to as far south as Lake Okeechobee (Mitchem et al. 1998). The earliest contact between the native populations and the Europeans occurred through slave hunting expeditions. “Slaving expeditions,” which provided workers for the mines of Hispaniola and Cuba, were not recorded in official documents as the Spanish Crown prohibited the enslavement of Caribbean natives. Evidence of these slave raids comes from the familiarity with the Florida coast stated by navigators of the earliest official coastal reconnaissance surveys (Cabeza de Vaca 1922: Chapter 4). The hostile response of the native population to expeditions during the 1520s may confirm this hypothesis.
