The Inventory of the County Archives of South Carolina is one of a
number of bib1iographies—bf historical materials prepared throughout the
United States by workers on the Historical Records Survey projects of the
• Work Projects Administration. The publication herewith presented, an
inventory of the archives of Saluda County, is number 4l of the South
Carolina series.
The Historical Records Survey projects were undertaken in the winter
of 1955-56 for the purpose of providing useful employment to needy unem-
ployed historians, lawyers, teachers, and research and clerical workers.
In carrying out this objective, the project was organized to compile in-
ventories of historical materials, particularly the unpublished govern-
• ment documents and records which are basic in the administration of local
government, and which provide invaluable data for students of political,
economic, and social history. The archival guide herewith presented is
intended to meet the requirements of day-to-day administration by the of-
ficials of the county, and also the needs of lawyers, business men and
other citizens who require facts from the public records for the proper
conduct of their affairs. The volume is so designed that it can be used
by the historian in his research in unprinted sources in the same way he
· uses the library card catalog for printed sources.
The inventories produced by the Historical Records Survey projects
attempt to do more than give merely a list of records - they attempt
further to sketch in the historical background of the county or other unit
of government, and to describe precisely and in detail the organization
and functions of the government agencies whose records they list. The
county, town, and other local inventories for the entire country will,
when completed, constitute an encyclopedia of local government as well
as a bibliography of local archives.
The successful conclusion of the work of the Historical Records
Survey projects, even in a single county, would not be possible without
. the support of public officials, historical and legal specialists, and
many other groups in the community. Their cooperation is gratefully
acknowledged.
The Survey projects were organized and directed by Luther H. Evans,
until he accepted a position with the Library of Congress and was suc-
ceeded in March 1940, by Sargent B. Child. As a nation-wide series of
locally sponsored projects, the surveys operate in the Division of Pro-
fessional and Service Projects, of which Mrs. Florence Kerr, Assistant
Com issioner, is in charge.

The Historical Records Survey was begun on a nation·wide scale as part
of the Federal Writers' Project of the Works Progress Administration, and
became in October 1956 an independent part of Federal Project No. 1. When
• federal projects were terminated on August 51, 1959, the Survey was con-
tinued by locally sponsored state-wide projects as part of a national re-
search and records program. Under the national direction of Luther H. Evans,
and since March 1, 1940, of his successor, Sargent B. Child, the Survey has
inventoried state, county, city, church, and, to a limited extent, private
records. At present, it is preparing for publication in a condensed form,
descriptive lists of the public records of local units of government. In
each state the counties are numbered in alphabetical order, and treated as
separate units, each with an introductory section giving the historical back-
• ground and a description of the present government and records system, All
records are referred to the office of origin, which is carefully described
as to history, functions, and required records. Each type of record is given
a numbered entry showing the comprehensive dates for which it is extant, the
quantity, an interpretation of contents, and details as to nature of record-
ings, indexing and location. State, municipal, church, and other records
will be described in separate publications.
_ The South Carolina Historical Records Survey Project was begun on March
* 1, 1956. The University of South Carolina, as official sponsor of the pro-
ject, is contributing the offices of state headquarters. Acknowledgments
are due Professor R. L. Meriwether, head of the department of history, for
access to the proof of his "Expansion of South Carolina", and for criticism
of historical sketches. The South Carolina project is also indebted to Dr.
Leah Townsend of Florence, for the invaluable Code of Laws of South Carolina
1952. State Officials of the Work Projects Administ?ation have at all times
given every possible cooperation in the administration of the project.
The records of Saluda County, with the exception of the county commis-
sioners’, were inventoried April 19-May 7, 195% by Marvin M. Smith, field
supervisor. In 1959 the legal research on the county was amplified by Mrs.
° Willah W. Brown, who compiled the first draft of the historical sketch and
the essays. The inventory was checked from the records, September 18, 1959-
January 22, 1940, by Margaret Wertz, foreman, assisted by Jeter W. Senter—
feit, James E. Mitchell, and Arthur M. Eargle, under the supervision of Miss
Esther E. Strong, field supervisor, who rechecked the forms. Welfare rec-
ords were surveyed and condensed by Roberta Chestnut, who also worked with
Josephine Copeland and Mrs. Brown on the condensation of other offices.
Floor plans were drawn to scale by James Mitchell, and illustrations were
prepared by W. M. Boylston. Final typing was the work of Dora Duren. Cita-
tions and cross references were checked by Vivian Barnette, who prepared the
chronological index, the bibliography and the list of county officers. The
O subject index was made by Janice Tribble, Lena Lanning and Miss Copeland.
Stencils were out by Audree Cox, and mimeographed by Floride Theodore.
Binding and correction of typographical errors were done by Mrs. Flonie H.
Lewis and Miss Theodore.

U Historical Sketch (First entry, p. 28)
The movement for the formation of Saluda County took form in the con-
stitutional convention of 1895, where there was much debate concerning the
formation of new counties. Senator Ben Tillman introduced a resolution
providing for a cou ty from portions of Abbeville and Edgefield, to be
named for Mart Gary. George D. Tillman, his brother, thereupon introduced
a resolution for a county to be formed from a portion of Edgefield. A
lively wrangle ensued (The State, Sept. 13, 1895, p. 3). When the vote
1 was taken George Ti11man’s plan won over Ben Tillman’s. George Tillman then
made an eloquent speech in behalf of naming the new county Butler, in honor
of the distinguished family whose burying ground was just a few miles from
the site which would become the new county seat. A vote taken in Senator
Tillman's absence resulted in the name of Butler being chosen (The State,
Sept. 15, 1895, p. 2). At the next meeting the senator asked that the
named be changed to Saluda. A sensational scene, which lasted all day as
a personal and political controversy between the Tillmans, caused the ser-
geant-at-arms to be called upon to preserve order. When the vote was taken
‘ the county was named Saluda (The State, Sept. 17, 1895, pp. 1, 5).
0n March 31, 1896 an election was held for selecting the site of the
Saluda County Courthouse. Red Bank had offered to build a $6,000 court-
house if chosen; Emory offered 160 acres of land; and Mickles offered a
half interest in 900 acres of land and $1,200 in money. The people of
each community did a great deal of hard work for their respective sites,
and considerable feeling resulted (The State, April 2, 1896, p. 6). Red
Bank secured the county seat by only eighty-eight votes (The State, May 1,
‘ ieee, p. 5).
At the time this location was selected, no railroad was nearer than
Johnston, fourteen miles away, and only the historic church of Red Bank was
at the site (The State, July 29, 1896, p. 1). For the public buildings six
acres were acquired (The State, July 30, 1896, p. 5).
Five thousand people met at Red Bank on July 28, 1896, to lay the
cornerstone of the courthouse. George D. Tillman, as the father of Saluda
Cou ty, was the orator of the day. Grandmaster Claude E. Sawyer and sev-
eral  asonic lodges laid the cornerstone (The State, July 29, 1896, p. 1),
in which were placed: a copy of the Saluda Sentinel containing a report
‘ on the validity of the titles and security of Bond offered as bids for
the county seat; a copy of the Red Bank Courier containing cut, specifi-
cations, stc., of the courthouse; a copy of the first issue of The Senti-
nel containing the ordinance creating the county, and a short historical
sketch; also returns from the first and the second elections to locate the
cou ty seat; a copy of the deed made by Mrs. Jennings; the names of commit-
tee members sent to push the new county through the Convention; the names
of 1,600 Confederate veterans of Saluda; and a short sketch of the life of
George D. Tillman (The State, July 30, 1896, p. 5).
Although Saluda County was established by the constitution of 1895
(art. VII, 12), the act creating the county rovided that there should be
' no election of officers until November 1896 ?Stat. XXII, 250), when the

following were elected: sheriff, M. A. Whittle; clerk of court, B. W. Crouch;
supervisor, W. E. Bodie; superintendent of education, Eugene S. Blease;
coroner, L. B. Hazel; judge of probate, Walter Satcher; treasurer, B. R.
Smith; auditor, J. D. Wills; master, W. J. Padgett; county commissioners,
Luther R. Blease, Josiah B. Padgett; supervisors of registration, Walter K.
Shealy, George H. Dominick, F. H. Kempson; board of control, J. L. Jennings, ,
George C. Wheeler, H. C. White; dispenser, J. P. Lindler (MS, County Officers
South Carolina, secretary of state's office, Columbia, S. C.). The first
term of court was held in November 1896, Judge Buchanan presiding (The State,
Dec. ll, 1896, p. 8).
After building the courthouse the next important step for Saluda was A
to acquire transportation facilities. Several attempts were failures (Stat.
XXIII, 833; XXV, 294, 355; XXVI, 1007, 1022), but in 1912 the first railroad
was built from Ward to Saluda by the Augusta Northern Railroad (Reports and .
Rosolutions...South Carolina, 1912, vol. I, 451). The Greenwood and Saluda
Railroad was incorporated in 1913 (Stat. XXVIII, 280).
In 1917, B. W. Crouch of the Saluda County bar, in an address dedicat—
ing the present courthouse, said that the three outstanding events in the
history of Saluda County were: first,the creation of the county; second, the
building of the railroad; and third, the building of the present courthouse
(wa same, oss. 2, isis, p. 6).
The people of Saluda are mainly of native born stock, descendants of ·
the first settlers. The soil, chiefly clay, with some sand on the southern
side, is fertile. While cotton, corn and grain are the important crops,
truck farming is profitable in all sections of the county. The Ridge pro-
duces peaches, asparagus and watermelons. Fruit growing, and cattle and
poultry raising are important industries. The predominating forest growths
are oak, hickory and yellow pine (S. C. Handbook, 1927, p. 359-40). Con-
siderable quantities of granite and millstone are found in the Cloud's Creek
area. A gold mine in the Pan Handle has been operated to some extent in
recent years. (Chapman, Edgefield, pp. 367-68.) Monetta (partly in Aiken
County), Ward, and Ridge Springs are small incorporated towns. Ridge
Springs is named from the Ridge on which it is situated, and from an old ,
spring where George Washington stopped when he passed through South Carolina
in 1791 (Chapman, Edgefield, p. 75).
2. GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION AND RECORDS SYSTEM
Legal Status of the County
The present constitution under which Saluda County was created, declares
each county an election district and a body politic and corporate (1895, art. ,
vu, s).
