The 1901 South Carolina 7th congressional district special election was held on November 5, 1901 to select a Representative for the 7th congressional district to serve out the remainder of the term for the 57th Congress. The special election resulted from the death of Representative J. William Stokes on July 6, 1901. Asbury Francis Lever, a former secretary to Stokes, won the Democratic primary and was unopposed in the general election.
The South Carolina Democratic Party held their primary in the summer of 1901. Five candidates entered the race and among those who sought the seat was future longtime U.S. Senator, Ellison D. Smith. Asbury Francis Lever emerged atop the first primary election and won the runoff election against Thomas F. Brantley, a candidate in the 1898 election. There was no opposition to the Democratic candidate in the general election so Lever was elected to serve out the remainder of the term.
