THROUGH A GLASS, DARKLY: THE CHANGING PAST OF COFFEE COUNTY, GEORGIA —————————————————————— A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University —————————————————————— In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts History —————————————————————— By Jonathan David Hepworth December 2012 —————————————————————— Accepted by: Dr. Rod Andrew, Jr., Committee Chair Dr. Paul Christopher Anderson Dr. H. Roger Grant ABSTRACT In 1954, Coffee County, Georgia, commemorated its centennial with a massive celebration that essentially shut down the county seat of Douglas for a week. Parades, fireworks, speeches, and above all a large-scale historical pageant, the “Centurama,” were components of the celebration. The history celebrated in 1954, however, did not necessarily match up with Coffee County’s actual history. This thesis examines the history of Coffee County and its changing nature, looking at politics, economics, and culture. It finds that historical “memory” is not always planned out by society’s elites, but can change as the result of politics, demographic shifts, and commercial gain. The 1954 celebration is placed in a larger context since the 1950s saw a historical pageant fad during the tense first years of the Cold War. Communities that hired Ohio-based John B. Rogers Producing Company to run their centennial celebrations received a pre-fabricated history to celebrate that did not always match their actual history. At the end, the thesis deals with the consequences of the white majority’s ignorance of the history of their African-American neighbors and addresses the impact of desegregation on the white and black communities of Coffee County. Historical memory is therefore organic and drifts along the currents found in society. ii DEDICATION To Tara Helena Williams, Virginia Hepworth Gold, and Amy Carruth Hepworth. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My first thanks goes to my committee chair, Dr. Rod Andrew, Jr., who not only was part of the committee that brought me to Clemson, but who has taught me the better part of what I know of southern history. His patience, forthrightness, and encouragement have been above and beyond the call of duty. Dr. Paul Christopher Anderson has been an excellent Graduate Advisor, and I owe him thanks for encouraging me to pursue what really interested me. His words of advice have proven valuable and his assistance during desperate times has kept me going through many difficulties. Dr. H. Roger Grant has taught me many things about the community I thought I knew, and has given me a new appreciation for individual communities and how to view them in the larger context—especially if on a rail line. Other professors of mine at Clemson deserve recognition. Dr. Orville Vernon Burton has helped me understand the many sides of the Civil Rights movement, and I owe to him a better understanding of debates about southern identity. Dr. Steven Marks has made the history of the world come alive for me and his students, and I appreciate his skill as a teacher. Dr. Tom Kuehn introduced me to the complex maze of historiography, while Dr. Alan Grubb has encouraged me to not be afraid to speculate on the past—provided I bring evidence to support my conclusions. Dr. Caroline Dunn gave me a new appreciation for how the more distant past still influences our lives. My many graduate colleagues have provided much support and encouragement. While I cannot name all who gave me help over these past three years, I especially want to thank Anna iv Braunscheidel, Melissa Collum, Parissa D’Jangi, Madeleine Forrest, Matthew D. Hintz, Phillip Mullinnix, S. Michael Powers, Samantha Schmidt, Leslie Whitmire, and Adam Zucconi. I have also benefitted from professors not at Clemson, most notably John C. Inscoe at the University of Georgia, who was kind enough to listen to some of my ideas over lunch. In pursuing my research, no one has been as helpful as C. T. Trowell of Douglas, Georgia. Few people are better acquainted with the early history of Coffee County as he is, and he generously provided a copy of his “Douglas Before Memory,” as well as bibliographies he prepared of county history. I have been most fortunate to have his guidance. I also wish to recognize Lydia Lott of the Genealogical Department, Satilla Regional Library, for her help in finding items, pulling un-microfilmed newspapers, and for pleasant conversation. The staff of the Georgia Archives was exceptionally helpful, even while under threat of closure due to budget cuts. Steven Engerrand, Amanda Mros, Tina Seetoo, and Christine Wiseman were four of the staff I had the most assistance from, and I thank them for their kind patience and willingness to help. I regret that some are no longer working for the Georgia Archives due to reductions in force. Jennifer Moss and Leslie White of the Oconee Heritage Center in Walhalla, South Carolina, were crucial in aiding my discovery of a “centennial celebrations racket.” v I have had assistance from many libraries and librarians, especially the staff of the Robert Muldrow Cooper Library at Clemson University, who helped in everything from circulation to interlibrary loans. At the University of Georgia, I had help from the staffs of the Main, Map, and Special Collection Libraries, all of whom provided excellent service. Thanks to the librarians of the Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Books Library (MARBL) at Emory University who allowed me to get a lot of research done in a short period of time. I also want to thank my former colleagues at Special Collections, J. Willard Marriott Library, University of Utah, for their generous help and support. On a more personal note, I wish to thank the family of William and Tracy Smith of Ambrose, Georgia, for opening their home to me whenever I was in Coffee County for research. Their daughter, Jessi, told me that if I wrote a history of Coffee County, she would be willing to read it. I hope she approves. I also thank my many other friends in Coffee County, including the Mizell family who pitched in a welcome meal. I certainly could not have succeeded in my venture without the aid of my Father, Karl C. Hepworth, my Mother and Stepfather, Susan and John Stacey, my parents-in-law, Brent and LaJean Carruth, and my siblings-in-law, Nathan and Celeste Carruth. My life would be much more unpleasant without the smiles and love of my son, Joshua David Hepworth, who was born during the making of this thesis. vi I dedicate this thesis to three incredible women. Tara Helena Williams introduced me to Clemson and was a solid help during my first semester here. Thank you, Helena, for making me a Tiger. Virginia Hepworth Gold, my Great-Aunt, helped connect me with my own past and always encouraged me in this endeavor. She passed away in November, 2012, and I dedicate a part of this to her. Above all, I dedicate this thesis to the woman who has worked harder than anyone to make this thesis possible: my dear wife, Amy Carruth Hepworth. I am grateful that she decided to marry me my first semester at Clemson, and she has supported me in every way possible. I love you, Amy. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page TITLE PAGE....................................................................................................................i ABSTRACT.....................................................................................................................ii DEDICATION................................................................................................................iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS............................................................................................iv INTRODUCTION: PATTERNS.....................................................................................1 CHAPTER ONE: POLITICS ........................................................................................11 CHAPTER TWO: PROGRESSIVES............................................................................42 CHAPTER THREE: PIONEERS AND PIETY ............................................................67 CHAPTER FOUR: PAGEANTS...................................................................................95 CHAPTER FIVE: PROBLEMS, PANDEMONIUM, AND PARADOX...................117 CONCLUSION: POSSIBILITIES...............................................................................137 APPENDIX A: POPULATION TRENDS FOR COFFEE COUNTY........................141 APPENDIX B: COFFEE’S MILITIA DISTRICTS....................................................144 APPENDIX C: THE CENTURAMA PAGEANT ......................................................148 APPENDIX D: MAPS OF COFFEE COUNTY .........................................................161 BIBLIOGRAPHY........................................................................................................168 INTRODUCTION: PATTERNS

Designed by architect A. Ten Eyck Brown, the house at 205 The Prado was built in 1910 from locally- quarried granite in the Italian Renaissance Revival style. It was first home to real estate developer Edwin P. Ansley, founder of Ansley Park, Atlanta’s first automobile suburb. Ellis Arnall, one of the state’s most progressive governors, resided there (1943-47). He was a disputant in the infamous “three governors controversy.” For forty-three years, the mansion was home to twelve governors, until poor maintenance made it nearly uninhabitable. A new governor’s mansion was constructed on West Paces Ferry Road. The granite mansion was razed in 1969, but its garage was converted to a residence. 3 Historical Documentation of the Granite Mansion Edwin P. Ansley Edwin Percival Ansley (see Appendix 1) was born in Augusta, GA, on March 30, 1866. In 1871, the family moved to the Atlanta area. Edwin studied law at the University of Georgia, and was an attorney in the Atlanta law firm Calhoun, King & Spalding.

  • From the Vaults, February 2017
    FROM The VAULTS Newsletter of the Georgia Archives www.GeorgiaArchives.org Volume 2, No. 1 February 2017 The Georgia Archives Building State Historian and Archives Director Louise Hays thought that the Georgia Archives would be preparing to move to a new building on the Capitol Square with the State Library and perhaps the Supreme Court as soon as World War II was over. It took another twenty years, a new State Archivist (Mary Givens Bryan), and a new Secretary of State (Ben W. Fortson, Jr.) to complete the white marble structure on Capitol Avenue. The Archives had moved from the fourth floor of the Capitol in 1929 and 1930 to the twenty-room mansion donated by the heirs of furniture magnate Amos G. Rhodes at 1516 Peachtree Street NW. From the beginning it was obvious that a fireproof building designed as an archives would be preferable to Rhodes Hall. Governor Lamartine Griffin Hardman in 1931 proposed carving a giant records storage facility into the core of Stone Mountain.

  • Samuel Ernest Vandiver, Jr
    OH Vandiver 01C Samuel Ernest Vandiver, Jr. interviewed by Mel Steeley and Ted Fitzsimmons Date: 6/25/86 Cassettes #439 (56 minutes) COPY OF ORIGINAL INTERVIEW ORIGINAL AT WEST GEORGIA UNIVERSITY Side One Fitzsimmons: Governor, we were talking about the integration of the university, and you said in making a decision you talked to a number of people, and among them Senator [Richard Brevard, Jr.] Russell. What was his advice? Vandiver: Well, I think you probably know what his situation was. He had fought these battles in the Senate for many, many years. And, of course, he knew from his practice of law and his familiarity with the law that I had no choice except to follow the law. That I couldn't, if I had defied the court, then I had no choice except to try to get the state of Georgia to secede again from the Union. And we'd tried that once and hadn't done too well that time. And so he knew that I had no choice. One thing that Betty [Sybil Elizabeth] Vandiver and I have talked about a great deal was her father was a federal judge; he was a judge of the northern district of Georgia. And he never had to deal with this situation. He knew it was probably coming, but he became ill with cancer, and he died in 1955 before this situation ever came before his court. And we've thought about it many times, that the Lord was kind to him. He would have had to rule in such a way that it would have been extremely difficult for him.

HENDERSON Side One Henderson: This is an interview with former Governor George D. [Dekle] Busbee in his law office in Atlanta. The date is March 17, 1994. I am Dr. Hal Henderson. Good afternoon, Governor Busbee. Busbee: Good day. Henderson: Thank you very much for granting me this interview. Busbee: I'm delighted. Henderson: You served in the state House of Representatives the last two years of the [Samuel] Marvin Griffin [Sr.] administration and you served all four years of [Samuel] Ernest Vandiver's [Jr.] administration. Let me begin by asking you: what was your impression of the Marvin Griffin administration? Busbee: Well, of course, if you had to choose sides Marvin wouldn't have said that I was in his camp. I will say, however, that I was reminiscing with some people that served in the legislature with me back then and have served since I was governor, and we don't think it's as much fun as it used to be. I think he was a very colorful character and we had a great time, but I think that was former days for Georgia; that's not the era that we're in now. Henderson: Okay. How would you describe the relationship between Lieutenant Governor Vandiver and Governor Marvin Griffin? 2 Busbee: Well, the first real bitter fight that I became engaged in as a legislator was during the time that I was there [and] Marvin Griffin was governor, and we had the rural roads fight.
