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. 1. Dudley Mays Hughes

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. box folder Request box II.1 1 Georgia Citizen's Education Movement, [circa post-1921] II.1 2 Hughes, Daniel Greenwood, Jr., 1908, 1911 II.1 3 Hughes, Dudley M. - General Correspondence, 1909-1912 II.1 4 Hughes, Dudley M. - Illiteracy in Georgia, 1907 II.1 5 Hughes, Dudley M. - Job Applications (Educational positions), 1903-1917 II.1 6 Hughes, Dudley M. - Normal Schools, 1902-1909 II.1 7 Hughes, Dudley M. - University of Georgia, 1902-1925 II.1 8 Hughes, Dudley M. - University of Georgia-Agricultural College, 1901-1925 II.1 9 Hughes, Hugh L.

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. 1. State Offices

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). box folder Request box II.4 1 Campaign Lists, 1905-1912 II.4 2 Campaign Tours, circa 1905-1906 II.4 3 Compendiums - Ben Hill County, 1908 April 16-1908 July 2 II.4 4 Compendiums - Crawford County, 1908 II.4 5 Compendiums - Crisp County, 1908 II.4 6 Compendiums - Dooly County, 1908 II.4 7 Compendiums - Houston County, 1908 II.4 8 Compendiums - Lee County, 1908 II.4 9 Compendiums - Macon County, 1908 II.4 10 Compendiums - Miscellaneous, 1908 II.4 11 Compendiums - Pulaski County, 1908 II.4 12 Compendiums - Scheley County, 1908 II.4 13 Compendiums - Stewart County, 1908 II.4 14 Compendiums - Sumter County, 1908 II.4 15 Compendiums - Taylor County, 1908 II.4 16 Compendiums - Twiggs County, 1908 II.4 17 Compendiums - Webster County, 1908 II.4 18 Compendiums - Wilcox County, 1908 II.4 19 Correspondence - Friends & Associates (about Dudley M.

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. box folder Request box II.15 1 Correspondence, 1902-1925 II.15 2 Hughes, Dudley M.

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. A. Correspondence

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.
