Collection Description

Biographical Note

Dudley M. Hughes (1848-1927), son of Daniel Greenwood and Mary Henrietta Moore Hughes, was born in Jeffersonville, Twiggs County, Georgia on 10 October. Educated at Oakland Academy and the University of Georgia he abandoned his education in 1869 to manage his father's plantation near Danville. On 25 November 1873, Hughes married Mary Frances Dennard. The marriage produced three children: Daniel Greenwood Hughes, Hugh Lawson Dennard Hughes, and Henrietta Louise Hughes.

A prominent Georgia agriculturist, Hughes created a large farming complex known as Magnolia Plantation and headed or became involved in numerous agribusiness enterprises including Magnolia Orchard and the Georgia Fruit Land Company. Often known as "Colonel" by family and associates, Hughes served as president of the Georgia State Agricultural Society from 1904 to 1906. He also played an important role in establishing the School of Agriculture at the University of Georgia, where he served as a trustee. A man with a wide variety of interests, Hughes became one of the original incorporators of the Macon, Dublin, and Savannah Railroad in 1885 and served as its president until 1891. Hughes's efforts received much public attention in Georgia, and Governor Joe Terrell appointed him Commissioner General of Georgia to the St. Louis World's Fair of 1904.

Active in politics, Hughes served as a Georgia State Senator from 1882 to 1883 and in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1909 to 1917. Hughes began campaigning in 1904 for the 1906 election against the incumbent, Elijah B. Lewis. After a long and bitter campaign, Lewis won, but left many of his opponents and constituents unhappy with his election tactics and congressional record. Hughes challenged Lewis again in 1908 and defeated him. Hughes represented the Third Congressional District (Ben Hill, Crawford, Crisp, Dooly, Houston, Lee, Macon, Pulaski, Schley, Stewart, Sumter, Taylor, Twiggs, Webster, and Wilcox counties) from 1909 to 1912. When the state legislature reapportioned the congressional districts in 1912, Hughes was transferred to the Twelfth District (Dodge, Emmanual, Houston, Johnson, Laurens, Montgomery, Pulaski, Telfair, Toombs, Twiggs, and Wilcox counties) until his defeat in 1918.

While in Congress, Hughes served on several committees, especially the Committee on the Military, the Committee on Agriculture, and the Committee on Education which he chaired from 1913 to 1916. With Georgia Senator Hoke Smith, Hughes was appointed by President Woodrow Wilson in 1913 to a special commission charged with examining the question of federal aid for vocational education. The majority of the commission's findings were later incorporated into a bill championed by Hughes and Smith. Passed in January of 1917, the Smith-Hughes Act provided for federal funding equal to state funding for the purpose of training teachers and maintaining schools for secondary vocational education.

After leaving Congress, Hughes pursued his agricultural interests full-time until his death in Macon, Bibb County, Georgia on 20 January 1927. Hughes was buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Perry, Houston County, Georgia.

Scope and Content

Dudley M. Hughes (1848-1927), a prominent Georgia agriculturist, he created a large farming complex known as Magnolia Plantation and headed or became involved in numerous agribusiness enterprises including Magnolia Orchard and the Georgia Fruit Land Company. Dudley Hughes became one of the original incorporators of the Macon, Dublin, and Savannah Railroad and briefly served as its president. He believed that Georgia and all American farmers should devote more attention to the study of agriculture and spent much of his time and energy encouraging them to gain more knowledge of that occupation. He urged his fellow farmers to approach agriculture as a science and corresponded with the State Entomologist as well as numerous agricultural organizations to discuss problems or new improvements in farming. Mr. Hughes, often known as "Colonel" by family and associates, also served as president of the Georgia State Agricultural Society from 1904 to 1906. He played an important role in establishing the School of Agriculture at the University of Georgia, where he served as a trustee. Dudley Hughes's efforts received much public attention in Georgia, and Governor Joe Terrell appointed him Commissioner General of Georgia to the St. Louis World's Fair of 1904. There Mr. Hughes sought to present the state as an active and prosperous region in agriculture and industry.

As a prominent Georgian, Dudley Hughes's name often appeared in state politics. Much of his early political correspondence consisted of letters to friends, relatives, and business associates concerning state legislative issues and appointments. He was also involved in the affairs of several Georgia colleges where he served as trustee, including the University of Georgia and the Georgia Normal Institute in Macon. Dudley Hughes served a brief term as state senator from 1898 to 1899, but only a few papers exist from that period. The collection includes correspondence with Georgia governors Joseph M. Terrell, Hoke Smith, Joseph M. Brown, Hugh M. Dorsey, and Thomas W. Hardwick. Several of his associates attempted to have Mr. Hughes run for governor during the early 1900s, and a few of these letters are interspersed in the Georgia political papers.

The bulk of Hughes's political experience came when he decided to run as a representative of the Third District to the United States Congress. He began campaigning in 1904 for the 1906 election against the incumbent, Elijah B. Lewis. After a long and bitter campaign, Lewis won, but left many of his opponents and constituents unhappy with his election tactics and congressional record. Hughes challenged Lewis again in 1908 and defeated him. Most of the campaign material in the Hughes papers concerns these two elections. A few files cover the campaigns of 1910-1916 and the reapportionment issue which switched Mr. Hughes from the Third to the Twelfth District in 1912. Also of note is the correspondence of the entire Hughes family to aid Dudley Hughes. Daniel G. Hughes, Jr. served as manager of the 1908 campaign and his papers provide additional insight into the race. The researcher should look at the political correspondence of Dan Hughes, Jr., for he often answered letters in place of his father.

In congress, Dudley Hughes served on several committees, especially the Military Committee, the Committee of Agriculture, and the Educational Committee which he chaired from 1913 to 1916. He continued to advocate the concerns of the farming community and his legislative correspondence on agriculture ranges from detailed analysis of specific problems, the Good Roads movement, farming practices, and anti-gambling bills to more mundane constituent requests for seeds and fish stock. Dudley Hughes also dealt with numerous applications for political patronage, most notably military and naval scholarships, the appointment of a U. S. marshal, census enumerator, guano inspector, and postal positions. Interspersed among the papers of Dudley Hughes are those of his family. The most numerous of these are the political (see above) and business papers of his eldest son, Daniel G. Hughes, Jr. Also noteworthy are the letters of Mary D. Hughes who worked with her husband to provide religious and secular education to girls as well as to boys. Mary Hughes took a strong stand on the importance of self-sufficiency for women, although her papers do not suggest that she joined the growing feminist movement in the country. The letters of the Hughes's only daughter, Hennilou, provide a glimpse of a young girl growing up at the turn of the century in middle Georgia and in Washington, D.C. Hugh L. D. Hughes became an important merchant in Danville, Georgia (the homeplace of the Hughes family) and served in numerous civic and business capacities. He worked as a staff member for Governors Candler and Terrell and became a state senator for the 21st District in 1925. H. L. D. Hughes continued his father's educational interests and served as Trustee of Middle College of Cochran and of Georgia State College in Athens, Georgia. While his papers are not as numerous as those of other family members, they are worth consideration for his business and educational interests.

This series consists mainly of correspondence and documents relating to the family of Dudley Mays Hughes. It is divided into two subseries: A. Correspondence and B. General.

A. Correspondence

Most of the letters in this subseries pertain to Dudley Mays Hughes, his wife, Mary Frances Dennard Hughes, and their three children, Daniel Greenwood Hughes, Jr. Hugh Lawson Dennard Hughes, and Henrietta Louise Hughes. A few letters extend back to the early 1800s and are included in the file entitled "Old Family Letters."

The correspondence reveals a close family, one which shared all of life's joys, experiences, and sorrows. The researcher can understand how the Hughes family loved, interacted, and occasionally disagreed. Dudley Hughes and his wife retained a powerful influence on their children, but allowed each child to grow into an independent individual with his/her own interests and contributions to the family, community, and state.In addition to family affairs, the Correspondence subseries reveals other concerns of the Hughes family including the domestic and public activities of Mary Dennard Hughes and her daughter, Hennilou. The family belonged to the Southern Baptist Denomination and played a prominent role in the development of education and missions interests in their local church. The papers also contain information about the secular education of young girls and boys in nineteenth-century Georgia as well as the South. Both Dudley and Mary Hughes gave advice about their farming methods in numerous letters to their children. Race and class relations of the period, as well as social, political, and economic events in Georgia and the nation are depicted. The Hughes family also noted their impressions of new ideas, inventions, and amusements of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries: the typewriter, the first automobiles, and moving pictures. Notable items concerning family events include:

a) Letters/documents relating to the education of the Hughes family. Dudley M. Hughes matriculated as a member of the 1871 class at the University of Georgia, but left in 1870. Mary D. Hughes attended school in Petapso, Maryland, Daniel G. Hughes, Jr. graduated from the University of Georgia, and Hennilou attended the Lucy Cobb Institute in Athens, Georgia.

b) Descriptions of Hennilou's trip to Europe in 1900, and her trip to the Midwest and Northwest in 1915, as well as a voyage taken by Dudley and Mary Hughes aboard the S.S. Panama to Europe in 1913.

c) Social life in middle Georgia, ca. 1870-1925 and in Washington, D. C. 1909-1917 - includes a personal letter to President Woodrow Wilson, Aug. 14, 1914.

d) Georgia politics c 1880s-early 1920s.

e) The twenty-fifth and fiftieth anniversaries of Dudley and Mary Hughes.

f) Letters from black servants to family members. (See particularly the correspondence of Henrietta L. Hughes). Also D.M. Hughes December 1904 correspondence to "Uncle Peter", a black minister.

g) Activities in the Southern Baptist denomination; both Dudley and Mary Hughes were involved in starting local Sunday Schools in their church (Mount Zion). Mary and Hennilou Hughes were active in the Women's Missionary Union.

h) Descriptions of the St. Louis World's Fair, 1904

i) The illness and sudden death of Daniel G. Hughes, Jr. in 1916.

j) Dedication of the Hughes Chapel, honorary FHA membership for Hennilou and Agnes Hughes (wife of Hugh L. Dennard Hughes) in 1967, and efforts to preserve Magnolia Plantation in 1962.

Dudley Hughes often corresponded with family members about various business and financial endeavors. He left the operation of his farming interests to his sons while serving in congress, and several letters give advice to them as well as to his wife. Mr. Hughes also advised his children about their own business interests. One letter from Mary D. Hughes to Daniel G. Hughes, Jr. expresses her opinions concerning work relations with black farm laborers. The Correspondence subseries also contains much reference to political affairs. Dudley Hughes's congressional campaigns are discussed in letters to all his family members. Of note are the issues of Georgia politics and political leaders from 1890 to 1925, such as Hoke Smith, Tom Watson, E. B. Lewis, and Congressman Charles Crisp. A few personal references to and from Richard B. Russell, Sr. can be found in this series. (see M. D. Hughes papers). Dudley Hughes also maintained a heavy correspondence while he served as Georgia Commissioner to the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904, and many of his letters describe events at the Fair. When Hughes served in congress, he wrote to his family and friends about issues and life in Washington, D. C. When his family visited, they also sent descriptive letters back home. Notable items relating to the nation's capitol include: Democratic and Republican activities; Hughes's descriptions and opinions of President William H. Taft and Booker T. Washington (For the latter, see Box 2, Folder 5); Pencil drawing and description of Admiral Togo of Japan in 1911 (See Box 3, Folder 6); The Wilson inaugurations of 1913 and 1917; Issues confronting Congress 1909-1917: agriculture, prohibition, vocational education, the coming of World War I, and political patronage.Letters in this subseries are grouped according to the author of the correspondence and his/her main recipient. Folders entitled "General Correspondence" include letters from a variety of friends and relatives too scattered for an individual listing. The papers in each folder are arranged chronologically, beginning with the most recent date.

The Political Series traces the activities of the Hughes family in local, state, and national politics. It is divided into four subseries: Education, Georgia, Congressional, and Hughes family.

A. Education

Dudley M. Hughes often received appointments to boards of various schools, colleges and institutions of higher learning in Georgia. He served as Trustee of the Danville, Georgia school, the State Normal Institute of Georgia at Milledgeville, the Georgia State College for Women, the University of Georgia, and the State College of Agriculture. The Education subseries includes correspondence concerning scholarships, positions in Georgia schools, and general information about the above institutions. As Trustee of the University of Georgia, Mr. Hughes played an important role in establishing the State Agricultural College. Much of his University correspondence includes letters to Chancellor Benjamin Hill, a search for Hill's successor, and a search for Dean and faculty for the Agricultural College. A few files concern vocational education, but relate more to the development of vocational education after the passage of the Smith-Hughes Act of 1917.

The other members of the Hughes family also became involved in educational concerns. Daniel Greenwood Hughes, Sr. built the Crosland Academy in Danville, Georgia, Mary Dennard Hughes served as a Visitor to Lucy Cobb Institute of Athens, Georgia. Of interest are materials from Mercer University which belonged to Hennilou Hughes, a letter about possible faculty position for Daniel G. Hughes, Jr. at the Agriculture College in 1908, and the work of H.L. Dennard Hughes with general education for children.

B. Georgia

This subseries contains information about Georgia politics and elections ca. 1890-1925. A few items pertain to the one term Dudley Hughes served in the State Senate, including one 1898 voting list and including attempts to persuade Dudley Hughes to run for governor. Three files entitled "State Appointments and Elections" contain a number of interesting letters from friends and acquaintances of Mr. Hughes urging his support for their placement in office. Included in these files are references to current elections (of note is a poem about Joseph M. Brown, 1908). There are also letters about the political career and influence of Richard B. Russell, Sr., attempts to persuade Mr. Hughes to campaign for governor, and his considerations to run for congress before 1905. The State Legislature papers reveal issues under debate in the Georgia General Assembly. Of note is the "Judicial" file which contains a report of the Committee on Legal Education and Administration to the Bar in which Richard B. Russell, Sr. served as one of its members.

A large number of materials deal with Mr. Hughes's service as Commissioner General to the St. Louis World's Fair. Appointed in 1903, Hughes worked with co-members of the Georgia Commission for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (Glascock Barrett, O. B. Stevens, W. S. Yeates, Governor Joseph Terrell and Hugh V. Washington) to acquire donations and exhibit items for the Georgia display.

C. Congressional

The bulk of the Political series comprises papers of Dudley M. Hughes's congressional elections and service as a Representative in the United States Congress from 1909 to 1919. This subseries is divided into 1) Campaigns; 2) Legislative files; 3) Political Appointments; and 4) Intra-Office Correspondence.

1. Campaigns

The Campaigns papers cover the seven congressional elections in which Dudley Hughes ran for office. Most of the material covers the 1906 and the 1908 campaigns when Mr. Hughes challenged the incumbent, Elijah Lewis. These were two difficult campaigns for Hughes. His papers demonstrate the political network he worked to develop and the tactics he and Congressman Lewis employed. (Of note is the change from delegate to a plurality vote which Lewis engineered at the Third District Congressional Convention, causing him to win the 1906 election. Only a few papers have been received covering the 1910-1919 elections. Many of the tactics and issues of the campaigns are covered in the Hughes Family section of this series and in the personal papers. Major issues of the campaigns include corruption of the ballots by use of money and liquor, white supremacy, agricultural concerns, trust regulation, tariff revisions, and internal improvements. Mr. Hughes received a great deal of help from his relatives. In 1906 Erwin Dennard, brother-in-law to Dudley Hughes served as campaign manager. His letters have been incorporated into the Dudley Hughes correspondence. In 1908 Daniel G. Hughes, Jr. served as manager, and his letters have been filed separately because of the bulk of his correspondence. D.G. Hughes, Jr. often answered letters originally written to Dudley Hughes and a close inspection of the two sections is strongly suggested. Of interest is a file of letters written by Mary D. Hughes to help build her husband's network of political support. Dudley M. Hughes represented the Third Congressional District (Ben Hill, Crawford, Crisp, Dooly, Houston, Lee, Macon, Pulaski, Schley, Stewart, Sumter, Taylor, Twiggs, Webster, and Wilcox counties) from 1909 to 1912. When the state legislature reapportioned the congressional districts in 1912, Mr. Hughes was transferred to the Twelfth District (Dodge, Emmanual, Houston, Johnson, Laurens, Montgomery, Pulaski, Telfair, Toombs, Twiggs, and Wilcox counties) until his defeat in 1918. The Hughes campaign files as well as additional files about political party concerns cover Democratic and Republican activities in the state and nation. Of interest is: Democratic conventions of the Third Congressional District; Woodrow Wilson's 1912 victory; poem by H. Cecil Berrien entitled "The Advent of the Bull Moose" (see box 9, Folder 10); Two letters from Dudley Hughes to Woodrow Wilson, July 17 and 19, 1912, recommending his secretary, James L. Fort (a future Georgia Congressman - see box 9, Folder 10).

2. Legislative

The legislative papers cover various topics pursued by Mr. Hughes or by his constituents. The two largest sections concern agricultural and military issues. The agricultural papers cover trade and farming interests, immigration, anti-gambling, rural farm and road demonstrations, soil surveys, and a large number of constituent requests for seeds, bulbs, fish, and general agricultural information. The military files include pension applications and correspondence concerning service records. Other legislative files include commerce, labor, post offices, and transportation.

3. Political Appointments/Elections

As a congressman, Dudley Hughes had to tackle the large number of applicants who applied for various positions in government and for educational positions. Many of these were constituents and a number were general office seekers across the nation. Some of Mr. Hughes's political appointments concerned congressional approval of presidential appointments or those seeking office within the Congress. The largest section concerns post office positions. This was under the jurisdiction of Congress during the early twentieth century and often very political. Others appointment files concern military appointments for West Point and Annapolis, census enumerator, and U. S. Marshals. A few letters of note include: Dudley M. Hughes to President-elect Woodrow Wilson, Jan. 18, 1913. (Ser. II, Box 12, Folder 6); Dudley M. Hughes to Woodrow Wilson, August 6, 1912 (Ser. II, Box 12, Folder 10); Letters to and concerning Walter F. George, future Georgia senator (Ser. II, Box 12, Folder 15); Rebecca L. Felton letter to Hughes concerning political appointment for widow of former Confederate General Longstreet, Dec. 2, 1912 (Ser. II, Box 13, Folder 4).

D. Hughes Family

This subseries includes letters concerning political matters that could not be filed in other sections. Many of the letters are general letters relating to the Hughes family, those written to or by Dudley Hughes or his sons, but without clear identification. Much of the correspondence is about political conditions and elections, judicial cases, and a 1904 letter from Dudley Hughes to Congressman Elijah Lewis about Rural Free Delivery Routes. The Catholic Issue file of Hugh L. D. Hughes concerns an earlier issue raised during one of his father's congressional campaigns.

III. Business and Finance

12 box(es)

(5.5 linear feet)

This series contains letters and documents relating to the farming and business interests of the Hughes family. The Agricultural correspondence primarily includes material about the various agribusiness activities of Dudley Hughes and Daniel G. Hughes, Jr. The papers provides in-depth information about the farming and labor practices used by Mr. Hughes at the turn of the century. Daniel Hughes appears to have become more involved in the management of his fathers' farming interests as Mr. Hughes became increasingly involved with politics. Much of the correspondence sent to Dudley Hughes was often answered by his son, and a perusal through both sections is necessary. Dudley Hughes developed an extensive network of plantations in the state and became a business partner in several companies to sell Georgia produce. These included the Elsie and Magnolia Orchards, the Hughes Orchard Company, The Hughes Orchard & Nursery Company, and the Georgia Co-operative Fruit Land Company. He also helped organize the Macon, Dublin, and Savannah Railroad to facilitate the shipping of produce from his region of the state and briefly served as its president. Because of his farming interests, Dudley Hughes became an important member of several agricultural organizations. Of note are his work and offices held in the Georgia Fruit Growers Association, the Georgia Peach Growers Associations, The Farmers' National Congress, and the Georgia Agricultural Society. Dudley Hughes served as President of the State Agricultural Society during 1901-1906. Much of his correspondence in this series centers around the organization of the annual state fairs in conjunction with his work with the Agricultural Society. Daniel G. Hughes, Jr. also tried his hand in cotton and saw mill endeavors. His papers contain a valuable record of labor practices in the early 1900s, including the hiring of foreign immigrants. The Business and Finance Series also contains accounts and receipts of the Hughes which relate to the correspondence subseries. A number of legal records (including family land deeds of the early 1800s) are placed in the Legal Subseries.
