Carolina ninth circuit solicitor in 1916, a position to which he was reelected in 1920.

Stoney was elected mayor of Charleston in 1923 and again in 1927. As a member of the

Democratic Party Stoney ran an unsuccessful campaign to unseat incumbent U.S. Senator

James F. Byrnes in 1936. Stoney remained active in politics throughout his life, working

for the election of Dwight D. Eisenhower and participating in the South Carolinians for

Independent Electors movement and efforts to block desegregation. Stoney became

increasingly alienated from the Democratic Party. Throughout his career he maintained

Stoney, and Laurence O'Hear Stoney.

Series 1 Thomas P. Stoney personal and business papers

Subseries 1.1 Correspondence Notes on the Correspondence

The correspondence reflects many aspects of Stoney’s personal life and

political career. Most of the letters of the 1910s document his personal

interests, including a love letter to the future Mrs. Thomas P. Stoney.

There are also letters concerning his political activities. Correspondents of

this period include Governor Richard Manning, Mayor Tristam Tupper

Hyde, and Mayor John Grace.

The correspondence of the 1920s documents Stoney’s political activities

including his 1920 election as solicitor, and his 1923 and 1927 mayoral

races. The death of his father in 1922 is also mentioned. Also

documented is William J. Cordes’ relocation to Boston (Mass.) as the

manager of the Boston Retail Credit Co.

The correspondence of the 1930s documents Stoney’s struggle to redefine

himself after being mayor of Charleston. Apparently, he chose not to run

for reelection in 1931 and supported Burnet Maybank in the mayoral

campaign. Stoney sought appointment to the position of U.S. District

Attorney in 1932. The correspondence documents his pursuit of the

position by soliciting the support of every person who could possibly

influence the outcome. Also reflected is his disappointment at not being

appointed to the position. The correspondence of 1935 and 1936

documents Stoney’s challenge to incumbent U.S. Senator James F.

Byrnes. After being defeated in this race Stoney abandoned the pursuit of

office and focused on his legal career.

The correspondence of the 1940s reflects Stoney’s interest in his sons’

education and includes his advice to them while they attended the

University of the South (Sewanee). Stoney actively involved himself in

obtaining an appointment to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for

his son Theodore Dubose Stoney. During World War II Stoney involved

himself in activities related to fundraising for the war effort. After the

war, Theodore and Laurence O’Hear Stoney returned to join Stoney &

Crosland.

The correspondence of the 1950s documents Stoney’s political

involvement. He became heavily involved in South Carolinians for

Eisenhower in the 1952 presidential campaign. Also documented is his

involvement in the mayoral campaigns of William Morrison and J. Palmer

Gaillard. Many letters reflect Stoney’s concern for the issues of

desegregation and communism.

Letters and other material in the topical files concern the threat of

communist infiltration of the United States government and culture. The

correspondence on these subjects continues into the 1960s. Also reflected

in the correspondence and general papers is Stoney’s involvement in the

Episcopal Church and its struggles over segregation in the 1960s. (Stoney

was a member of Strawberry Chapel in Berkeley County). Because

5

carbon copies of so much of Stoney’s personal correspondence exists, the

correspondence provides a very candid look at his views on various issues.

Many of Thomas Stoney’s interest spanned decades of his life. Gamecock

football was a passion begun during his days as a quarterback at the

University of South Carolina and continued throughout his life. Stoney

remained connected to his school ties except Catawba Military Academy.

He served on the board of trustees for Porter Military Academy, the

University of the South, and the University of South Carolina, and his

letters reflect his involvement with these institutions. The correspondence

series does not contain much significant correspondence about Kensington

Plantation, most of which is included in the Kensington/Ladson farm

series.
