Bas-relief on the Old Newberry Courthouse

This bas-relief added to the old Newberry courthouse after the end of the Civil War depicts the spirit of the prostrate state: a U.S. eagle holds an uprooted palmetto tree in its talons; perched upon the tree roots is a gamecock crowing defiantly; at the top of the tree a dove bears an olive branch.
