http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/23734495

This series has correspondence about Cephas Perry Quattlebaum's years as a practicing attorney in Conway. This correspondence includes letters from farmers, lumbermen, and others suffering from the effects of the late nineteenth century agricultural depression in the South Carolina Low Country. It documents real estate activity and Quattlebaum's role in collecting judgments for overdue bills in the Conway area. It also documents Quattlebaum's service as local attorney for the Atlantic Coast Line and his unsuccessful run for the office of Horry County Solicitor in 1908. Quattlebaum corresponded occasionally with South Carolina Governor Cole Blease and Congressman J. Edwin Ellerbe. There's some correspondence with family members, particularly his wife Janette; fraternal lodge officials; and other Low Country lawyers and businessmen. Of particular note is the personal correspondence from the Reconstruction years including information related to the creation of militia companies after the disputed 1876 Hampton-Chamberlain gubernatorial election. Quattlebaum was active in local politics, serving as Conway's first mayor in 1898. He was a conservative Democrat and opposed the Tillman wing of the party. There are campaign flyers, voting tallies, and other material related to the elections of 1892-1894. Quattlebaum ran for solicitor of the PeeDee Judicial district in 1908 but lost.
