Charles Clinton Spaulding, Entrepreneur (1874-1952)

Charles Clinton Spaulding led the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company from 1900 to 1952, a span during which North Carolina Mutual was the largest business owned by African-Americans. Known during his life as "Mr. Negro Business," Spaulding was largely responsible for the success of North Carolina Mutual, a firm that made Durham known as "the Black Wall Street." Born during Reconstruction in Columbus County, North Carolina, Spaulding grew up on the farm owned by his father, Benjamin. During his childhood, Charles rose early every morning and worked during most of his waking hours. Though mainly a farmer, Benjamin was also an entrepreneur, working part-time as a smith and carpenter. Aside from his accomplishments in agriculture and business, Benjamin served as the sheriff of Columbus County. In 1894, Charles Spaulding left the family farm for Durham, where he settled with an uncle and took jobs as a bellhop, dishwasher, and waiter. During his hours off from these menial jobs, Spaulding attended school, earning the equivalent of a modern high-school diploma in 1898. He was then hired as manager of a black-owned cooperative grocery store. After the store's owners became discouraged about its prospects, they sold their interests in the store in 1899, causing it to collapse and leaving Spaulding $300 in debt. Hard work alone would likely have prevented Spaulding's debt from leaving him destitute, but after the grocery store failed, his assiduity was supplemented by a fortuitous circumstance: in 1898, seven black entrepreneurs, including the uncle with whom Spaulding lived, founded the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association. Each of the seven invested $50 in the new venture. Two of the entrepreneurs—Spaulding's supportive uncle, A. M. Moore, and a prominent Durham barber , John Merrick—noticed Spaulding's managerial gifts while he was head of the grocery store. Because the seven founders of North Carolina Mutual had other successful careers, none of them had time to run the new company, so they hired Spaulding to sell policies. In 1900, they named him general manager. (The title was slightly misleading, for Spaulding was, at the time, the company's only employee.) Building a network of agents across North Carolina, Spaulding quickly expanded North Carolina Mutual's operations. In 1904, the company began selling policies in South Carolina; by 1908, the firm had 100,000 clients. Shrewdly advertising life insurance policies on medical thermometers and spittoons, the company continued to grow during the next decade. In 1919, Merrick died, and the board of North Caorlina Mutual elected Spaulding secretary-treasurer. He used the clout obtained with this new role to restructure the company. That year it was renamed the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, and soon thereafter, its operations were in thirteen states and the District of Columbia. Though Spaulding had been the company's de facto leader since 1900, he was named president after Moore's death in 1923.

By the the late 1920s, Spaulding had achieved national prominence, earned national business awards, and joined President Herbert Hoover's Federal Relief Committee. Like other insurance companies, North Carolina Mutual suffered a series of setbacks during the Great Depression, but Spaulding restructured the company as needed by trimming expenses and reducing the size of the firm's staff. According to Sylvia Jacobs, in a letter to W.E.B. Du Bois, Spaulding asserted that the Depression would cultivate a generation of superior business managers by forcing them to operate businesses more efficiently. During World War II, Spaulding not only assisted the U.S. Government in selling war bonds to African-Americans but also invested a large percentage of North Carolina Mutual's funds in the bonds. In 1948, Spaulding, by then an American business icon, visited much of Europe; he subsequently wrote, "I shall always feel grateful that my ancestors were transplanted to North America. It is the best place in the world that I have found to live and leave one's mark." Spaulding died in 1952, on his seventy-eighth birthday. His optimism, industry, and thrift influenced a generation of African-American entrepreneurs.

You think graham backed himself into a corner and might've fucked up a bit too much being too into trump even by sc conservative standards?

Lindsay graham kind got himself trapped, because prior to Trump he was famous as a “moderate” and until McCain’s death he was famous mostly as a Trump critic.  But that made his Trump loving and homophobic base hate him, and so to win his very difficult primary he had to go full MAGA, but that means he has not alienated a lot of SC moderates in the process, and made a lot of people think (correctly) he is a spineless worm with no values beyond contempt.

when were you going to tell me? with Pope please - maybanksbaby

you gripped the envelope so tight that you thought your fingers would rip holes in it, tearing through the paper easily in your death grip. the anger coursing through you was something you’d never felt before, feeling like the world was practically caving in on you. 

the pogues heard your car pull up, and your stomping on the porch before you threw the door open, eyes wide and hurt evident in your expression. the laughter and chatter died out, confusion overtaking your four friends as they looked up at you from various places around the living room. 

“when were you going to tell me?” your eyes locked with pope’s your hurt contrasting against his heavy confusion until hi eyes fell to the crumpled envelope in your hand. 

“y/n, i-”

“california? you planned on going all the way to california, and you weren’t going to tell me?” 

you knew pope wouldn’t stay in north caorlina. there was no way with his intelligence and ambition that he would stay close to home. he loved his friends, his chosen family, more than anything, but there was nothing that he wanted more than getting off of this island. 

“they have the best program-”

“i get that, pope. i just wish you would’ve told me. i didn’t even know you applied let alone accepted their offer.” you were crying now, not realizing how much your chest ached at the thought of you losing your boyfriend to the west coast. 

“i was going to tell you.” he whispered softly, guilt consuming him as he earned three more looks of betrayal alongside yours. 

“when? when you got on a plane?” you raised your voice slightly, running a hand through your hair and tugging softly to calm yourself down. “i just wish i knew.” you dropped the envelope on the coffee table, letting out a heavy sigh before turning back towards the door. 

“yn, wait-” john b pushed pope back onto the couch, not letting him follow you back out to your car at the realization that you were truly hurt.

“you messed up, dude. you have to let her think through all of this.” pope’s head fell back, his eyes screwing shut as he ran through the possibilities in his mind. 

“i messed up big time.”
