To t he Honorable the Senate and the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina : Gentlemen : The Public Schools of our State need money. Our system is capable of adjustment and amendment for all emergencies. These can be gradually applied, with the healthy growth of the work. It is well understood that we have too many schools. This tendency to multiply teaching places is natural, and has not been sufficiently guarded by law. The State undertook to give the peo ple a comprehensive and flexible system of schools, and very properly gave the Trustees, as nearest the voters, large powers. Under stress of political influence, in every neighborhood school houses have been sought, and too often located, without regard to the greatest good of the greatest number.

CALHOUN PUBLIC LIBRARY 373782 ASTOR, LENOX AND TILDE.N FOUNDATIONS. R 1906 L Copyright, 1900, by SILVER, BURDETT AND COMPANY This Book is Dedicated to Mi] MiU Fanny Beverley Wellford White PREFACE. This book attempts to give a short, simple history of South Carolina from the first settlement to the present day. Biographical sketches of rulers and leaders are arranged in close connection in order to furnish a con- tinuous historical narrative. The story of the lives of many great and good men of the state is of necessity left out; the boys and girls of South Carolina must read about them in larger books than this. Many worthy and noble women have also helped to build up and strengthen the state of South Carolina. In Colonial and Revolutionary days, and most of all during the period of the Southern Confederacy, they toiled and suffered in behalf of their people. It is not possible, however, in these brief pages to give the story of their deeds of devotion and self-sacrifice. The statements made in this book are based through- out on public records and on the original writings of those who had a share in the events and deeds herein described.

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.
