West End resident Wendy Cherubini shares her West End NEWS with Benjamin Ryan
Tillman, who served as governor of South Carolina from 1890 to 1894, and as a
United States Senator from 1895 until his death in office in 1918.
Combative, vitriolic, and openly racist, Tillman's views were a matter of national
controversy. He was a Democrat and a founder of Clemson University. "Pitchfork
Ben" got his nickname after he threatened to "poke old Grover [Cleveland] with a
pitchfork" to prod the President into action. The statue of him is outside the South
Carolina State House in Columbia.
