Biographical History
Berkeley County and Charleston, S.C., attorney and politician. He began his legal career in 1911 working for prominent Charleston attorney J.P.K. Bryan and subsequently practiced law independently and in partnership with several other attorneys. Stoney began his political career by winning the race for South 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 an aversion for the growing influence of Federal power. He married Beverly Means DuBose in 1915, and their children were Randell Croft Stoney, Theodore DuBose Stoney, and Laurence O'Hear Stoney.
