ABSTRACT:
The Walter J. Brown Papers document his career as a reporter, Special Assistant to the
Director of the Office of War Mobilization and Reconversion during World War II,
Special Assistant to the U.S. Secretary of State, and owner of Spartan Communications
(especially WSPA-Radio and WSPA-TV in Spartanburg, SC). There is also material
relating to his personal life, particularly his interest in the Hickory Hill estate of Tom
Watson; his involvement in politics, particularly with James F. Byrnes, J. Thomas Heflin,
Burnet Maybank, Donald Russell, and Strom Thurmond; his role in the economic
development of Spartanburg, SC; and the writing of his two books, J. J. Brown and
Thomas E. Watson — Georgia Politics 1912-1928 and James F. Byrnes of South
Carolina: A Remembrance.
SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
The Walter J. Brown Papers consists of advertisements, articles, artifacts, audio-visual
materials, campaign materials, cartoons, clippings, correspondence, a day book,
editorials, executive orders, galley proofs, journals, laws and legal documents, a ledger,
legislative bills, lists, maps, minutes, petitions, postcards, photographs, publications,
reports, scrapbooks, speeches, telegrams, transcripts, and other items.
Materials in this collection cover the period 1879-1995, with the bulk of the papers dating
from 1915-1988.
The papers are arranged alphabetically by folder title. Artifacts, photographs and oversize
items have been removed to artifacts, photographs and oversize storage. Publications by
Tom Watson have been cataloged and put in the book collection.
The Walter J. Brown Papers document his media career in and his government service
with the Office of War Mobilization and Reconversion during World War II and with the
U.S. Department of State. There is also material relating to his personal life; his interest
1
and involvement in politics; his role in the economic development of Spartanburg, SC;
and the writing of his two books on J. J. Brown/Tom Watson and James F. Byrnes.
Of particular interest to researchers are the journals Brown kept between April 1943 and
November 1945. They include information on the day-to-day activities the State
Department and of OWMR, including economic statistics such as the costs of various
products; politics, especially the potential vice presidential candidacy of James F. Byrnes
in 1944; and the London and Potsdam Conferences. The latter are supplemented by notes
taken at both conferences filed with the journals and journal extracts in folders relating to
Byrnes. There are also two sets of transcripts, denoted as “A” and “B,” that were
probably created in the 1970’s or early 1980’s. These are less word-for-word
transcriptions of the journals than re-workings of them, probably for use in James F.
Byrnes of South Carolina: A Remembrance. Transcript “B” tends to be a little more
detailed than transcript “A.”
The materials concerning his books J. J. Brown and Thomas E. Watson — Georgia
Politics 1912-1928 and James F. Byrnes of South Carolina: A Remembrance include
both research material and, in the case of James F. Byrnes, material resulting from their
work together and their long friendship. There is a good deal of correspondence between
Brown and Byrnes in the collection and numerous files relating to Byrnes’ career. The
State Department-related files include those for the London and Potsdam Conferences,
which have the journal extracts alluded to above. Material relating to his father J. J.
Brown includes the 1923 Report of Special Committee Investigating the Dept. of Ag. and
J. J. Brown, while that for U.S. Congressman and Senator Tom Watson includes material
on his publishing company (including a day book); copies of The Jeffersonian for 1915
and 1917 on the Leo Frank case, anti-Catholicism, and opposition to American entry into
World War I; and the report of his 1916 trial on obscenity charges. There is also
correspondence concerning the his research and to the publication of the two books,
galleys (circa 1992) for the Byrnes book, a 1986 manuscript for the Brown/Watson book,
a 1982 manuscript that contains both books, and computer discs for the 1986 versions of
both books.
Related to Brown’s interest in Watson was his interest in Brown’s home, Hickory Hill
and by extension the town of Thomson, Georgia. There is correspondence concerning the
possibility of Brown renting Hickory Hill and his successful 1947 purchase of the
property. Additional correspondence deals with the running of the Hickory Hill dairy and
farms, while other material concerns its eventual designation as a historic site.
He was also worked for, and was interested in, the career of Alabama politician J.
Thomas Heflin. Brown helped arrange Heflin’s lecture tours, although almost all of the
correspondence in the collection is to and from Heflin’s secretary, J. L. Thornton. The
papers contain posters and other advertisements for Heflin’s lecture tours. Brown also
reported on J. Thomas Heflin’s 1930 Senate campaign and in addition to his stories there
are copies of campaign advertisements and issues of a local newspaper, the Abbeville
(Alabama) Independent. A small amount of research material on Heflin can be found in
the collection as well.
2
There is extensive documentation of Brown’s interest and involvement in politics in the
papers. In addition to political correspondence files and others relating to elections.
political figures, and presidential inaugurations, there are materials relating to political
party conventions Brown attended, especially the Democratic National Conventions of
1944, 1948, 1956, 1976, and 1988 and the Republican National Conventions of 1976 and
1988. There is little that documents the election of 1960, however. Brown also acted as a
public relations consultant to Burnet Maybank’s 1941 Senatorial campaign; Strom
Thurmond’s 1948 Presidential campaign and his 1950 and 1954 Senatorial campaigns;
and Donald Russell’s 1958 gubernatorial campaign. All of these campaigns are fully
documented in the collection.
Brown was involved in opposing the relocation I-85 around Spartanburg in the 1980’s
because he was convinced it would have a detrimental economic impact on the city. The
collection reflects his efforts to prevent the relocation, containing correspondence with
U.S. Congressman Carroll Campbell (4th District), U.S. Senators Ernest Hollings and
Strom Thurmond, the State Department of Transportation, the Federal Highway
Administration, and others. Other materials relating to this topic include engineering
reports, maps, and photographs.
A few files document his participation in the Spartanburg Area Chamber of Commerce
and other economic development efforts. There are also a small number of items relating
to Spartan Communications and WSPA, including some material that may have been
used to help write his on-air editorials as well as files concerning his term as president of
the South Carolina Broadcasting Association. A number of letters in the collection refer
to the long legal fight to build a broadcasting tower on Hogback Mountain for WSPA.
Brown visited to various countries in Asia, the Caribbean Europe, and North and South
America and the papers contain brochures, correspondence, itineraries, maps, and other
items relating to his travel. Also included are editorials on some of the places he visited.
Those relating to his visit to the Soviet Union in 1969 became the article A Visit Behind
the Iron Curtain, which is also in the collection.
The collection contains a number of scrapbooks, which have a card file index. They
include articles by Brown and his “Around Washington” and “Sense and Nonsense Along
the Potomac” columns, as well as covering such topics as anti-Catholicism, especially in
regard to public schools; James F. Byrnes; civil rights and segregation; Georgia politics;
J. Thomas Heflin; Burnet R. Maybank; national politics, especially the 1948 presidential
campaign; OWMR and the war effort; Donald Russell’s 1958 gubernatorial campaign;
prominent South Carolinians in Washington, D.C., including Leonore Fuller, Byrnes’
sister; South Carolina politics; and Strom Thurmond’s 1954 write-in campaign for the
Senate. One of the scrapbooks appears to have also served as a ledger book for Tom
Watson’s Jeffersonian Publishing Company.
The photographs in the papers are chiefly of Brown, his family and the Watson family,
James F. Byrnes, Hickory Hill, I-85 between Atlanta, GA and Spartanburg, SC and those
3
taken during the Potsdam Conference. There are also photographs of Presidents Lyndon
Johnson and Richard Nixon as well as historic photographs and postcards of Thomson,
GA. Other audio-visual materials include sound recordings of political advertisements,
political commentary, and of eulogies given at the funeral of James F. Byrnes. Finally,
there a number of artifacts such as German coins, convention delegate badges and press
credentials, a patch, a plaque, political buttons, tokens, and small pieces of rubble from
Berchtesgaden, Germany in the collection.
Other correspondents or other authors represented in the collection include Turner
Catledge, executive editor of the New York Times; lawyers Robert Figg and C. C. Wyche;
journalist Porter McKeever; businessman Roger Peace; and Richard B. Russell, Jr., U.S.
Senator from Georgia. There is also correspondence with members of the Brown family,
especially with his father, John Judson Brown and his brother Sylvester V. Brown.
The bulk of the material relating to Spartan Communications and other media-related
enterprises is at the South Caroliniana Library, University of South Carolina. The Walter
J. Brown Media Archives is at the University of Georgia.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE
Walter Johnson Brown was born on July 25, 1903 in Bowman, Georgia, the son of J. J.
(John Judson) (1865-1953) and Captora Ginn Brown (1866-1956). He was educated at
the Georgia Institute of Technology High School, the Georgia Institute of Technology,
and the Henry W. Grady School of Journalism at the University of Georgia. On April 12,
1925 he married Georgia Watson Lee (died 1935), a granddaughter of Thomas E.
Watson. They had one son, Thomas Watson Brown (1933-2007). He then married Ruth
Taylor (1916-1990), the daughter of Spartanburg Advertising Company President Alfred
Brandon Taylor and Ruth King Taylor, on July 3, 1941. They divorced in 1966 after
having one son, James Byrnes Brown (born 1947). In 1970 he married Ann Revell
Chadeayne Tindale.
He worked for his father in the Georgia Department of Agriculture from 1925 until 1927,
when he and his wife moved to Thomson, Georgia and started a mail-order book business
and a monthly publication called The Watsonian. He also helped arrange lecture tours for
Senator Thomas Heflin of Alabama and reported on the Senator's unsuccessful 1930 reelection campaign. After covering the 1928 presidential campaign for James S. Vance's
Washington, D.C.-based The Fellowship Forum Brown moved to Washington in 1929 to
work for Vance. The following year, with some help from Heflin and his friends, he
started his own news bureau that served newspapers in North and South Carolina. In the
1930's he began a life-long friendship with James F. Byrnes, then a U.S. Senator.
4
In 1940 Brown moved to Spartanburg, SC to become the Vice President and General
Manager of the Spartanburg Advertising Company, which owned radio station WORD.
Later that same year the Company bought WSPA, which had begun broadcasting in 1930
as the first commercial radio station in South Carolina. He took a leave of absence from
the Company in 1943 at the request of James F. Byrnes, who had resigned from the
Supreme Court to become director of the Office of Economic Stabilization (which
became the Office of War Mobilization and later the Office of War Mobilization and
Reconversion). He served as Assistant to the Director until April 1945, when he returned
to Spartanburg. However, when Byrnes became Secretary of State in July 1945 Brown
returned to Washington and served as Special Assistant to the Secretary. He attended the
Potsdam Conference and the Council of Foreign Ministers meeting in London. Brown
resigned from the State Department in November 1945 and returned to Spartanburg and
the Spartanburg Advertising Company.
Brown organized Georgia-Carolina Broadcasting Company in 1945 and served as its
president. The Company operated WTNT in Augusta, Georgia, which began broadcasting
in 1947. He started the Hickory Hill Broadcasting Company in 1947 and built station
WTWA in Thomson. Meanwhile the Spartanburg Advertising Company had been forced
to relinquish WORD in 1944 because of the Federal Communication Commission's
(FCC) "duopoly" rule forbidding a company from owning more than one station in a
market. The Liberty Life Insurance Company bought WSPA in 1947. Brown then
organized the Spartan Radiocasting Company and purchased WORD.
In 1951 Brown orchestrated a successful campaign to have the FCC assign VHF Channel
7 to Spartanburg. His company then petitioned the FCC for a license to operate WORDTV. WSPA filed its own competing request. Brown then bought WSPA in 1953. The
construction of a broadcasting tower on Hogback Mountain for the new television station
led to a protracted legal fight with television interests in Anderson and Greenville that
was not resolved in WSPA's favor until 1963. However, WSPA was able to begin
broadcasting in 1956 using a temporary transmitter on Paris Mountain. WSPA-FM radio
began broadcasting in stereo in 1961, the first in the Southeast to do so, and WSPA-TV
started broadcasting in color in 1965, the first TV station in South Carolina "to originate
local color programming." Brown was appointed Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer of Spartan Radiocasting Company in 1988. The business changed its
name to Spartan Communications, Inc. in 1995.
He was a member of the Rotary Club and served as president of the Spartanburg Area
Chamber of Commerce and the South Carolina Broadcasters Association. Brown was a
trustee of both the Spartanburg County Foundation and Converse College. He was also an
leader in the unsuccessful effort to prevent the relocation of Interstate 85 north of the city
of Spartanburg in 1983-1984. Brown was inducted into the South Carolina Broadcasters
Hall of Fame in 1975 and was awarded the Neville Holcombe Distinguished Award by
the Spartanburg Area Chamber of Commerce in 1995. A briefing center at the Chamber
of Commerce is named for him. He was the author of two books: J. J. Brown and Thomas
E. Watson — Georgia Politics 1912-1928 (1989) and James F. Byrnes of South Carolina:
A Remembrance (1992).

Walter J. Brown died on November 17, 1995 in Spartanburg, South Carolina and was
buried in Thomson, Georgia.
