1875. The location of the court house
was said to have been settled by the
authorities determining to draw a
verse line from each corner of the
county to it's diagonal corner, and To-
cate the court house where the lines
crossed eacn other, but they intersect-
ed in the midst of a great mill pond
and it was too much trouble to drain
it, so that instead of putting the new
town in the middle of Duren's pond
they determined to move up to Goats
store, which was good place to rest,
and as good as any other for the court
house. Besides that, tract of land
was granted by John Jones, whose
family seems to have been lost alto
gether, and John Coats, who had the
store that attracted the commissioners,
gave two acres for the court house, and
the first public buildings were erected
thereon.

When one writes the story Of peo-
pie, he seeks first to set forth the
deeds that they have done for pos
terity, the extent of the sacrifice Of
personal interests for the public vel
fare, the things that have made the
community and the state better, and
when he mas told those things Of any
people their history is closed. It is
never the man who lives for himself
or his own narrow circle of life that
makes history, or that the rest of the
world is interested in, but the man who
has done for humanity and the cause
of civilization.
Judged by this standard, Newberry

dered what burdens came to their lot
in the path of life. Newberry has not
lacked for men to make history nor
men to write the history that others
made. In both fields Of activity this
county has been particularly promi-
nent.
The town of Newberry is situated
nearly midway between the capital of
the state and the greater market towns
of the Piedmont Where the town and
county got their name is a matter of
speculation and there are various sug-
gestions, but nothing certainly known,
probably the most likely report is that
it received it's name from one Of the
captains in Su1nter's gallant troop that
fought over this territory, and in rec
ognition of his sacrifices for the state
the new district was named.
The first settlements made in this
territory were on Duncan's creek, as
picturesque and attractive part of the
country as home sekers would care to
find. This was in 1852. The district
was laid out in 1883, when Laurens,
Edgefeld, Abbeville, Union and Spar

because Of the lack Of recognition that
it's people had in the affairs of the
state and the legislature began to re-
alize that South Carolina was growing
rapidly up in the hills, far away from
the coast and the then centers Of po-
litical and social influence. The orig
inal districts of Camden, Ninety Six
and Orangeburg were cut into smaller
districts for the management Of their
affairs; 368, $40 acres were assigned to
Newberry, or "Newbury," as the name
was then spelled in the act The first
district court was held at the home of
the veteran Col. Rutherford, who
seemed to have had no little part in the
organization of the new district. The
location of the county seat was a ques-
ton over which people disagreed then,
just as they do now. 1t is strange now
very like the people Of today those old
fellows were, and how like those men
of old we are when the problem is the
