In July 1863, he joined the 2nd South Carolina Cavalry Regiment and remained with that unit for the remainder of the conflict. He went into business following the end of the war and within a few years was president of the Greenville and Laurens Railroad. In 1876, Mauldin was active in efforts to get Gen. Wade Hampton elected governor, ending Republican rule in South Carolina. He was elected mayor of Greenville the following year and served as chairman of the county Democratic Committee from 1878 through 1886. Mauldin was elected to the S.C. House in 1882 and the S.C. Senate in 1884. He resigned the latter post in 1886 when he was elected lieutenant governor, a position he was re-elected to two years later. In 1892, he was re-elected to the S.C. House and was re-elected to the S.C. Senate in 1898. He would ultimately serve 18 consecutive years in the S.C. legislature before stepping down because of declining health. As lieutenant governor and president of the state senate, Mauldin cast the deciding vote in 1888 when the John C. Calhoun estate was offered to the state for what would become Clemson University. Although he never lived in the Greenville County community of Mauldin, it is named for him because he directed the Greenville and Laurens Railroad to go through the area, enabling it to grow Written by Carolina Cotton
