V. 2: The population of Newberry County is fifty percent larger than it was in 1860 and the land area is slightly larger as a result of annexation. Although primarily an agricultural county, Newberry has exchanged its reliance on cotton as a cash crop for dependence on poultry and eggs, beef and dairy cattle, and timber and pulpwood. The county has lost some of its textile industry since World War II, but non-textile establishments hve moved in. These changes have diversified and stabilized Newberry's economy but have had little effect on the rural nature of the county. This volume covers the political, social, and economic development of Newberry County, South Carolina, from the beginning of the Civil War to the present day. - Publisher.

The road was graded, and then it was turned over to the Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago Railroad, and was to be extended to Blacksburg, where it touches the main line of this system. Nothing has been done on this enterprise for the past two or three years, but it is only a matter of time when this road will be completed. Another system which the town has missed and ought to have secured is the Georgia, Carolina and Northern. It passes through the northern edge of the county and strikes Clmton.TMNewbcrry ..should have* secured this system; but it is gone now. The building of the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens Railroad was flrit agitated, by Mr. H. C. Moseley and Rev., J. A. Sligh, of Prosperity, mid Messrs. G. 8 Mower and M. A.
