"reminiscences of Schoolboy Days in
The Newberry of the Past-The
Old Bush River School.
Written for The Herald and News.

SOIlHWneIe III lNS uIucS, DctNtel
the years ffty-three and flfty-seven,
Mr William Reeder. an estimable
citizen. all excellent. though austcre
School-,naScer, taught school at Bush
River Baptist church. Mr. Bennet
Wallace. Mr.. John Satterwhi:e. Capt.
Asa Davis and Capt. Bella Mangum
were the trustees The Oldest and
largest boys in school were Wash
Johnson. Wesley Pitts. Charlie Dav-
export, and your humble scribe.
In those good old ante-bellum days
it was customary for the scholars,
about the first OF July. to turn their
teachers out, that is force them, if
necessary. to treat the school and give
them a short vacation. This was
done in various ways. The last re-
sort was to seize the teacher, carry
him to some stream or pool of water,
and if he would not grant the request
duck him until he yielded.
The boys determined week or two
before hand to turn Mr. Reeder out,
and committed, as the sequel will
show, a great blunder in making the
matter public. Mr.. Reeder heard of
our intentions and consulted the trus-
tees, who agreed to aid him in his re-
solution to thwart the boys purpose.
The first Friday in July was set to
make the trial. Early that morning
the largest boys assembled at the
school-house. ignorant of the deter
raination Of the teacher and trustees.
Wash Johnson. the oldest and largest
boy. was chosen leader and spokes-
man. Mr. Reeder, who lived too far
from the school-house to walk, rode
'orseback. AT the customary hour
OF his arrival, he hove in sight, in
sweeping sallop. 1t was noticed that
instead Of stopping at his usual hitch
ing place, he came straight on to the
house in front of which we boys were
standing ready to meet him as he.
rode up. Johnson advanced to the
horses side, saying, "Come on boys,
let's take him off his horse" John
son caught the bride reins with his
left hand on the horses withers, and
placed his right hand on Reeder's leg
above the knee. I caught hold of his
leg on the other side. Johnson said,
:1'Mr. Reeder, we want you to treatus and
give us week or two vacation" Mr..
Reeder replied, II will do no such
thing at this time, when get ready
I may do so" Johnson again called
on the boys to assist in taking Reeder
from his horse. Reeder had in his
hand long hickory switch. This he
fourished over my head as if he in
tended to strike. Il said, "Mr. Reed
er, don't you strike me with that
switchp and stepped back a few feet
to avoid the blow.
About this time the trustees were
seen hurriedly approaching. Man
gum was a heavy built man, weigh
ing perhaps $50 pounds, very proeu-
berant in front. The weather was
very warm. he was in his shirt sleeves

enjoyed a good joke. and never lost
al opportunity OF perpetrating one.
HailiIig us. he said, "Where are YOU
going boys:" I replied. I'VE are
going to the river to take a swim"
He said. Boys this won't do, you had
better go back to school and behave
yourselves" Bound to make a good
thing out OF the occurrence, on his way
to town, and at town, he told that as
he passed Bush river school-house
there was a great disturbance there.
That Reeder had defeated and routed
his whole school in an attempt to
turn him out He said the children
we're flying through the woods in
every direction, fearing Reeder's pur-
suit and switch. II met Johnnie
Floyd in the road, hat in hand, head
thrown back, running as fast as his
legs would carry him. I hailed him,
johnnie, where are you going: I
am going home to mamma
The following Sunday was preach
ing day at Pleasant Grove church,
better known as Peterson meeting
house, situated where the residence
.of the late Dr. D. w. Patton now
stands, the lamented Rev. Ebert
Lindsay being pastor. Here the de-
feated boys met and so worried. cha
grinned and exasperated were they at
the jibes, taunts and accusations of
cowardice thrown at them, that after
preaching they retired to the woods,
held secret council of war, deter
mined to conquer or perish in the at
tempt. The plan formulated was ex-
eclted next day.
Monday morning as the sun arose
from behind the eastern hills, we were
on the school house grounds, hiding
behind the building. In going to the
place we avoided all public roads in
order not to be seen and thereby
arouse suspicion of Our intentions.
Crouching low to the ground, we
watched with no little anxiety, the
road by which Mr. Reeder would
come. At the proper time we espied
him slowly nearing his usual hitching
place. To our great JOY he leisurely
dismounted, secured his horse and
walked slowly towards the house. By
this we knew he had no idea of our
plans. In going to the house, he
passed close to one of the corners.
Just as he was passing, we sprang
from our covert, upon him like cat
upon rat. A clap of thunder from
clear sky could not have astounded
him more. Johnson, leading the way,
collared him. Pitts seized him by the
left. I by the right arm. and Daven-
Dor: around the waist from the rear.
