Description | The Straight-Out Democrat, published in Columbia, South Carolina from 1878 to 1879, succeeded the Columbia Phoenix amid post-Civil War reconstruction. Led by Henry S. Farley, it likely championed Democratic interests in a politically tumultuous era. The Phoenix, founded by Julian A. Selby, chronicled Columbia's recovery, with renowned literary figure William Gilmore Simms initially serving as editor. The Phoenix underwent name changes, splitting into daily and tri-weekly editions in 1865 before becoming the Columbia Daily Phoenix. Ownership changes followed, with the Daily Phoenix acquired by the Columbia Daily Register's owners in 1875. The Straight-Out Democrat provided a voice during this pivotal period.
