His intention was to study medi- ^ cine, but owing to difficulties in the * days of reconstruction, especially the necessity of removing to Ala- a bama to escape indictment resulting ? from his Ku Klux activities, he 1 abandoned his original idea in 1875, s and addressed his energies to the teaching profession, in which work o he had become iutensely Interested, n He conducted successively the F Archibald Institute at Pleasant a Ridge, Alabama; and the Catawba v Male Academy at Fort Mill, South n Carolina, which he organized and t' ^ where for thirteen years he sent b twenty-five boys annually to college, g The student body of the latter grew- g until it numbered several hundreds, i states from Virginia to Texas being n represented. 1890 saw his remov- h &1 to Rock Hill to superintend the i: system of graded schools in that ii place.
