Biographical and Historical Note

Benjamin Ryan Tillman (1847-1918), governor and U. S. senator, was born in Ropers, Edgefield County, South Carolina on Aug. 11, 1847. He was the son of Benjamin Ryan and Sophia (Hancock) Tillman, grandson of Frederick and Ansebell (Miller) Tillman, and great-grandson of George Tillman. His father was a farmer. Benjamin R. Tillman was educated at home under tutors and at public school in Liberty Hill, South Carolina. In 1864, he was stricken by an illness that resulted in the loss of his left eye.

In 1866 and 1867 he managed an unsuccessful farm in Florida. After his marriage in 1868, he returned to Edgefield County to farm the family plantation for the next twenty years. For some time he was a member of the Sweetwater Saber Club, a local military company, and from 1884 to 1890 he was captain of the Edgefield Hussars, another militia group. In 1876, with the former group, he took part in the Hamburg riot across the Savannah River from Augusta, Georgia. Some two weeks later, he was involved in the Ellenton riot in which many blacks were killed.

The riots brought Tillman into closer contact with political matters, and he began to write for agricultural papers regarding the needs of farmers in South Carolina. He stressed that the farmers had been defrauded and that they were not receiving a scientific and practical education at the State College. In 1885, before the South Carolina State Agricultural and Mechanical Society and State Grange at Bennettsville, South Carolina, he made a speech in which he advocated establishing an experimental farm, turning South Carolina College (later the University of South Carolina) into an actual agricultural institution. He advocated placing more farmers on the board of trustees of that institution, enlarging the South Carolina State Board of Agriculture, and establishing farmers' institutes.

- Page 3- Benjamin Ryan Tillman Papers Mss.0080

His campaign on behalf of the farmers led to the Farmers' Movement in South Carolina. In 1886, that movement took form as the Farmers' Association. It adopted a platform demanding the founding of an industrial school for women and a separate agricultural college. In November of that year, the Winthrop Training School for Teachers was organized in Columbia, South Carolina. In 1887, the state legislature voted an appropriation for the support of one scholarship from each county, an event that marked the beginning in South Carolina of aid to the education of women.

The quest for an agricultural college then became Tillman's principal aim. In 1887 he was instrumental in persuading Thomas G. Clemson to modify his will so that after Clemson's death his estate would be used for an agricultural college. After Clemson died in 1888, the state legislature accepted the bequest, and Clemson Agricultural and Industrial College (later Clemson University) was established in 1889.

Invited to run for governor of South Carolina in 1888, Tillman refused the offer, but in 1890 he accepted the reform-group nomination and was elected to office on the Democratic ticket. Reelected in 1892, he remained governor until 1894, the year in which he was elected to the United States Senate, where he served until his death on July 3, 1918.

At the South Carolina Constitutional Convention of 1895, he was chairman of the committee of suffrage that framed the article providing for an educational and property qualification for voting, a measure that eliminated most of the black vote.

One of the notable acts of Tillman's career as governor was the establishment in South Carolina of the direct primary system for naming candidates for election. Another measure enacted during his tenure was the Dispensary Law under which the state took over the manufacture and distribution of alcoholic beverages. In the beginning the law enriched the state financially, but later the management of the dispensary fell into corrupt hands, bringing the institution into disrepute. Further achievements of Tillman as governor included the assessment of taxes on railroads and other corporations and the victory of the courts in compelling the assesses to make payment; the refunding of the state debt, which saved $78,000 a year in interest; and the election, by the public, of railroad commissioners.

Soon after Tillman entered the Senate, he was placed on the committee on naval affairs. As a member of that committee one of his major efforts was to compel the manufacturers of armor plate to sell the product to the government at reasonable prices. In 1902 he conceived the idea of a great navy yard of the Atlantic coast in the South, and his quest was realized when such a station was established in Charleston, South Caorlina.

In 1906, when Tillman was a member of the committee on interstate and foreign commerce, the Republicans on the committee disagreed among themselves as to which individual should handle the Hepburn Rate Bill on the floor of the Senate. Rather than see certain members of the Republican faction placed in charge, several Republicans joined with Democratic members and placed Tillman in charge. This was one of the first instances in which a member of the minority party was given the task of handling important majority legislation.

The later years of his career in the Senate, when he was chairman of the committee on naval affairs, were concerned with his interest in strengthening the U. S. Navy, and among the successful projects in which he was involved were the arrangements for the construction of submarines.

From 1896 to 1908 his services as a speaker were sought by managers of lecture bureaus, and for six months in 1907 he spoke almost daily. The demand on his time, coupled with his senatorial duties, brought on a paralytic stroke in 1908. After that he retired from public speaking.

He was married in Elbert County, Georgia, Jan. 8, 1868, to Sallie, daughter of Samuel C. Stark of that place, and had six children: Adeline; Benjamin Ryan; Margaret Melona, who married Charles Sumner Moore; Henry; Sophia, who married Henry W. Hughes; and Sallie May, who married John Shuler. Benjamin R. Tillman died in Washington, D. C.

Scope and Content Note

The Benjamin Ryan Tillman Papers has twelve series. The Papers consist primarily of material from the years when Tillman served as Governor of South Carolina (1890-1894) and then U.S. Senator (1895-1918). It includes substantial amounts of routine correspondence related to speaking engagements for the years prior to Tillman's stroke in 1908, requests for pensions, requests for help by individuals seeking jobs, and letters from citizens on a wide variety of subjects which they wished to bring to the Senator's attention. Mixed in with this correspondence are substantive matters related to South Carolina and national politics, the development of Clemson and Winthrop Colleges, and the personal life of the Tillman family.

Several later accessions have been incorporated into the Tillman Collection. The photographs series now includes accession 73-2. The Thach donation (79-4) has been incorporated into the oversize series. There are separate series for the material (85-66) which Ms. Pat Kohn donated and of which Ms. Mary Tillman Snead permitted the libraries to make copies. A Tillman autograph book given to Senator Strom thurmond and donated to Special Collections in accession 93-15 has been placed in the Personal Unprocessed (P.U.) Correspondence Series

The Kohn, Snead and Benjamin Ryan Tillman, Jr. series represent a small portion of the collection, but contain important information regarding Tillman and his family. They contain material apparently not available to Francis Butler Simkins when he wrote his biographies of Tillman. The Benjamin Ryan Tillman, Jr. Series also contains a draft of an unpublished biography of Tillman written by his son.

There are also a series of scrapbooks, photographs, stenographer's notes and extracts from the Congressional Record. The series are not complete, but do provide a good overview to Tillman's public career. There are approximately four hundred photos in the photograph series. Tillman and family members are the primary subject. There are several related to Tillman's visit with Thomas Alva Edison and to Clemson College.

Oversize material has been separated from the collection and placed in map files and oversize boxes. This oversize series includes about twenty scattered issues of newspapers from South Carolina, 1833-1893. It also includes early documents such as deeds from Edgefield County, South Carolina and Habersham County, Georgia; records of the Tillman, Pickens and Dugas families; and a variety of business papers.

Benjamin Tillman Jr. also donated his book collection to the Clemson Library at the time of his death in 1950. The majority of the collection has been added to the Library's circulating collection although there are a few items in Special Collection. There are copies listing this collection in the donor and reference files in Special Collections.

Arrangement

In the collection's three main series, Outgoing, Incoming, and PU, the papers are arranged in strict chronological order within the series. The original arrangement of the collection included categories for fragments of letters, and undated material. Some documents that were not strictly correspondence were placed at the end of dated material in the Incoming, Outgoing, and PU series. The original box and folder numbers are listed as well as the current numbers. During the reprocessing of the collection, a variety of items on deteriorating paper were photocopied. A separate file of "bad paper" items was kept for awhile. This file has been discarded although some items have been returned to their proper place in the collection.

Material in the Kohn, Snead, and Benjamin Ryan Tillman, Jr. series are organized as subject files and chronologically within each folder.

Restrictions on Use There are no restrictions on the use of this collection beyond those of Clemson University Libraries Special Collections and those dictated by United States Copyright Law.

Provenance The papers of Benjamin Ryan Tillman have a somewhat unusual history. During the early 1930's, Dr. Robert L. Meriwether convinced Benjamin Tillman, Jr. to deposit his father's papers at the University of South Carolina's Library. The papers apparently had been stored in the carriage house at the Tillman home at Trenton, South Carolina for a number of years. These records were supplemented by other materials which Tillman received from a Mr. McCain and then passed on to Meriwether. For a while, Meriwether stored the papers at his home until facilities were available to house them at the University of South Carolina.

The University of South Carolina organized the papers during the late 1930's according to standard archival practices of the time. The original organization of Tillman's files, if one existed, was replaced by chronological arrangement of series of incoming and outgoing correspondence. A third major group of records, primarily incoming correspondence from the 1890's, was apparently acquired at a later date. These were housed in boxes labeled "P-U", an abbreviation for "Personal Papers, Unprocessed". All of these records were stored in kraft folders and cardboard boxes. Other parts of the collection include scrapbooks, photographs, and miscellaneous printed material.

The papers were open to researchers and the historian Francis Butler Simkins used them to write two books about the life of Benjamin Tillman. These works motivated Benjamin Tillman Jr. to attempt to write his own biography of his father. For this project, he turned to the University Library and would occasionally borrow material to use in his research. In 1947, Tillman, Jr. decided that he wanted to have his father's papers transferred to Clemson College because he was then living in Clemson. The collection was removed from the University of South Carolina and placed in the Clemson Library. In 1947, Tillman also indicated that Clemson College would become the owner of his and his father's papers upon his death.

In 1983, the Cooper Library at Clemson received from the University of South Carolina's Caroliniana Library one box of material which Mrs. S. Tucker McCravy had given to the Library. Mrs. McCravy's mother, Mrs. Robert Gordon Thach (née Douschka Pickens Tillman) had received the material from her father, Benjamin Tillman Jr. This box apparently included items which Tillman Jr. had borrowed from his father's papers as well as some of his own papers. In 1984, two boxes of envelopes which had been separated from the rest of the Tillman Collection were transferred from the Caroliniana to Clemson. In 1985, Pat Kohn, a great-granddaughter of Benjamin Tillman, donated approximately one hundred letters which she had gathered from relatives. In 1986, Mary Tillman Snead, granddaughter to Tillman, permitted approximately seventy-five letters to be photocopied.

Material in the Patricia Tillman Kohn series was given to the Libraries by Patricia Tillman Kohn in 1985 (Accession 85-66). She is the granddaughter of Sophie Tillman Hughes and the great- granddaughter of Benjamin Ryan Tillman. Photocopies of three letters from Tillman to his daughter Sally May and son Ben have been added to this series. They apparently were donated by a Tillman descendent in 1984 (Accession 85-23). There is also one folder of correspondence, 1908-1915, from

- Page 7- Benjamin Ryan Tillman Papers Mss.0080 Senator Tillman to Margarette Richardson, daughter of Governor Richardson. This was donated in 1988 (Accession 88-104).

Processing Information Work on refoldering the collection began in 1982 under the supervision of Jan Bzdyl and continued through 1987 under the supervision of Jan Gambrell. Parts of this register were prepared by Jan Gambrell in 1987 with further work done by Michael Kohl in 1989 and 1990. Karen Bates supervised the creation of the finding aid in 1990.

The conversion of this finding aid to Encoded Archival Description format was made possible with a grant from the South Carolina State Historical Records Advisory Board in 2009-2010. The finding aid was prepared for encoding by Jen Bingham.

James Cross made an addition to the finding aid in August 2010.

Series 2: Incoming Correspondence, 1848-1919, undated Date: 1848-1919, undated Physical Description: 24.5 Cubic Feet Arrangement

The incoming correspondence is arranged in strictly chronological order. There are a number of items that are undated and, therefore, could not be arranged chronologically. These items are arranged alphabetically by correspondent at the end of the series. There are also a few folders of miscellaneous unrelated items which were found in this series including poetry and legal documents forth which are filed at the end of this series. In addition there is an index listing the names of most of the correspondents in this series alphabetically by the first letter of their last name and chronologically thereafter.

Description

The incoming correspondence deals primarily with Tillman's senatorial years, 1894-1918. Included is correspondence from constituents regarding issues such as railroad regulation, race relations, the Dispensary Law, a variety of controversies with Presidents McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt, and the proposed repeal of tariffs on lumber from Canada; appointments to the military academies; and requests for positions in the federal and state governments as well as letters regarding positions at Clemson College. There is also correspondence regarding operations and construction activity at Clemson College, primarily from President Walter Merritt Riggs.

Heyward, and Cole Blease, R. G. Rhett, Mayor of Charleston, Congressman James F. Byrnes, George Legare, Asbury C. Latimer, and William Jasper Talbert, and Clemson College Presidents Walter Merritt Riggs, P. H. Mell, and Henry S. Hartzog. There is also correspondence with his children Ben, Henry, and Sallie May. Most of the correspondence is of a political nature. The processor's notes identify the location of many prominent correspondents.

The P.U. series consists of primarily incoming correspondence from the period 1890-1899. Within this period there are major gaps, with no correspondence for 1891 and little for 1892 and 1893. The series title was designated by staff at the South Caroliniana Library as part of their system of classifying collections. Apparently this part of the Tillman Papers was processed at a later date than the Incoming and Outgoing series. There is some evidence that these papers may have been gathered by John Walker McCain, a professor of English at Winthrop College, and given to the Caroliniana Library. This series also includes a few early documents and some items spanning Tillman's later career in the U.S. Senate.

The series includes correspondence with state and national political leaders, family members, and a wide variety of individuals seeking to influence Tillman or obtain favors from him. Among the subjects of the correspondence are populism and agrarian radicalism, efforts to inflate the currency, race relations, Clemson and Winthrop Colleges, the South Carolina Dispensary system for the regulation of the sale of alcohol, the Spanish-American War, and Tillman's campaigns to be elected governor of South Carolina, U.S. Senator, and President of the United States. There is approximately two cubic feet of correspondence related to the national reaction to Tillman's January 29, 1896 speech, "Bi-Metalism or Industrial Slavery". Prominent correspondents include: E.B.Craighead, President of Clemson College; W.H. Ellerbe, Governor of South Carolina; O.B.Johnson, President of Winthrop College; J.L. McLaurin, U.S. Senator; Tillman's wife, Sally Stark Tillman, and son, Ben Tillman, Jr.; Richard W. Simpson, Clemson College Trustee; and Stonewall Thompson, Clemson College professor.

There are a variety of items at the end of the series including fragments of letters, petitions, and other items. These files include copies and drafts of some of Tillman's speeches, an 1865 affidavit stating that Tillman was unfit to serve in the Confederate Army, material related to Tillman's participation in the Hamburg, South Carolina riot of 1876, an autograph book (1897-1901) that was given to Senator Strom Thurmond and then was donated to Special Collections by the Senator in accession 93-15, minutes of the Clemson College Board of Trustees, January 5, 1912, reports from department heads at Winthrop College, 1913 and 1915, and a variety of printed material such as advertisements, government documents, and speeches. There are processors' notes for part of this series up to 1896. Additional material was added to the series after these notes were taken.

The scrapbook series contains clippings related to Benjamin Tillman's career, South Carolina and national politics, and Tillman's personal interests.

mid-1890's, the clippings are primarily from South Carolina newspapers. After that, national newspapers are represented. Not all clippings are identified or dated.

This series consists of 8 bound volumes of printed pages of the Congressional Record which include Senator Tillman's speeches, roll call votes, debate on the Senate floor, and items inserted into the Congressional Record. There is no volume for the period, March 5, 1911 to March 3, 1913.

Series 7: Benjamin Ryan Tillman, Jr., 1885-1950 Date [inclusive]: 1885-1950 Physical Description: 0.75 Cubic Feet (2 document boxes) Description

This small series contains a variety of personal papers created by Senator Tillman's eldest son, Benjamin Ryan Tillman, Jr., 1878-1950. This material apparently was added to the Tillman Collection at Clemson after Tillman, Jr.'s death. It includes correspondence, papers related to his study of law during the 1920s and his work for the U. S. Department of Justice during the 1930s and 1940s, and material related to Tillman's work on a biography of his father. The correspondence is primarily from other family members and concerns the settlement of the Tillman estate and other matters of mutual interest. The material related to the Tillman biography composes about half the series and apparently was created while Tillman resided at Clemson, 1947-1950. There are typewritten drafts, a variety of notes and some recollections by both father and son. The collection also contains a few items related to Francis Butler Simpkins, historian and biographer of Senator Tillman.

Series 8: Diaries and Notebooks, 1861-1905 Date [inclusive]: 1861-1905 Physical Description: 0.15 Cubic Feet Description

Ben Tillman, his brother James, and his son Ben (BR) wrote the diaries and notebooks in this series.

There are four diaries written by Benjamin Tillman: 1861, 1865-1866. They briefly describe daily life on the Tillman farm in Trenton, South Carolina. They also include selected quotations from literature. The 1866 diary has accounts with freed slaves working on the Tillman plantation. There are two notebooks kept by Benjamin Tillman for 1892 and 1894. They contain a variety of research notes debating points, quotations, and newspaper clippings related to the political controversies of the day.

James Tillman, Ben's older brother, wrote three diaries: 1862, 1864-1866. They describe his service in the 24th Regiment of the South Carolina Volunteers, Company I. Included in his descriptions of military life is an account of the Battle of Franklin, November 28-30, 1864.

At the end of the war, James Tillman returned to Trenton to resume his occupation as a planter. He died of wounds suffered during the war on June 8, 1866. Included in the 1865-66 diary are accounts with the freed slaves listing their names, goods advanced and labor performed.

There is also one notebook, circa 1905, apparently kept by Ben Tillman, Jr. It contains scattered memoranda about the operations of Tillman's farm in Trenton.

Series 10: Mary Tillman Snead, 1796-1918 Date [inclusive]: 1796-1918 Physical Description: 0.5 Cubic Feet Arrangement

The series is organized in alphabetical order by the name of correspondent or party to land transaction and chronologically within folders.

- Page 101- Benjamin Ryan Tillman Papers Mss.0080

Description

This series consists of photocopies of documents which Mrs. Mary Tillman Snead, Senator Tillman's granddaughter, permitted Special Collections to make in 1986 (accession #86-45). The documents came into the possession of her father, Henry Tillman, sometime before the destruction of the Tillman home. This small series contains some extremely interesting correspondence such as James Tillman's letters written while he served in the Confederate Army, 1862-1864; a large number of letters written by Benjamin Tillman to his future wife, Sally Stark in 1866-1867; and letters from his daughter Adeline before her tragic death in 1896.

There are also some legal papers related to land transfers in Edgefield County, 1796-1868. Although many of the legal documents involve members of the Tillman family, there are items from approximately a dozen other persons without the Tillman surname. There are also several property transfers of slaves among members of the Tillman family, 1857; the will of Senator Tillman's father, 1844; an inventory of the estate of Benjamin Tillman, 1850; and documentation of sharecropping by Sophie Tillman's former slaves, 1865. The series also contains an essay by Benjamin Tillman on "Politeness", 1864.

Arrangement

Description

This series contains a variety of material, some of it removed from the Incoming and Personal Unprocessed series. Another part of this series includes a number of documents acquired by the Tillman Family. Some of this material was formerly separated from the Tillman Papers and given accession numbers 68-19, 68-20, 79-4 (formerly cataloged as A/T577), and 89-107 for the Tillman newspapers. Some of the material may have been acquired by Benjamin Tillman, Jr. from his in-laws who were related to the Pickens and Dugas families.

The material removed from other series in the Tillman Papers includes items such as blueprints, maps, petitions, and printed material. It is from approximately the same time period as those series 1873-1919. The blueprints pertain to naval affairs and defense. Maps include one of Clemson College from about 1915. The printed material includes advertisements for farm machinery.

The antebellum material includes the earliest items in the collection and is part of oversize because they have been unfolded and encapsulated. Included are several items related to Andrew Pickens and to Francis Pickens. There are early surveys and indentures from South Carolina, 1767-1847; Edgefield District militia records, 1825-1826, in which Benjamin Tillman's father was a member; land records from Georgia, and in particular Habersham County, 1837-1847, with Jacob Stroup being a frequent party to the transactions; records from the Habersham Iron Works, 1837 and the Bath and Barrett Companies, 1878-1882, which Frederick Dugas was an investor in; and letters and records of Madam Lequinio de Kerbley and Dr. de Beauregard of Augusta, 1771-1829, written in French, concerning family matters, letters of introduction, and the importation and sale of slaves.

The series also contains a number of issues of newspapers, 1833, 1864, 1886-1896. Some of the early papers may have belonged to Andrew Pickens and contain information about the nullification controversy. The later papers have articles on the Farmers' Movement and Tillman's political activities.
