OLD COLLEGES
OF TOOBLD,
Wesleyan Set the Example
for the Oldest in
Europe.
Winson fours letter
On the Subject is Full of Interest to
the People of Georgia, and
Especially Macon.
The following article was recently writ
ten for the Milledgeville Union Recorder by
Colom 1 Tomlinson Fort. It is especially
interesting to the general public because it
bears on the establishment of the first fe
male college in the 'world.
“In loving memory of James Coleman
White of Montpelier Budleigh Salt-rtoa,
Devonshire, England, born May 7, 1812,
died September 8, 1898. His end was peace.
About 1847 an Englishman came to Mil
ledgeville and took chaige wl th<- Academy
th-»;i located ntear the executive mansion
cn the scis-re upon wh.'.*a the penitentiary
had been erected. He taught net exceeding
•two years and then returned 'to England.
No teacher in so short a ime has made the
same impress on the people of 'Milledge
ville. No teacher has taught his scholars
more within the same time.
It has been fifty years since that English
man returned to his native land and yet
he has kept up correspondence with sev
eral of his Milledgeville scholars, has been
a regular subscriber to the Union Recorder,
has been visited at his English home by
some of his Milledgeville scholars and has
endeavored to keep informed as in regard
to every scholar who attended his schools
in Milledgeville.
After his return to Engl-nd he located
in the town of Budleigh Salterton in De
vonshire and there established a select
girls' school out of which grew Montpellier
Female College, the first female college es
tablished in England. It is said that whilst
teaching at “Hickory Level” near, Mil
ledgeville, visited 'the 'Wesleyan Female
College at Macon, Ga., which had been es
tablished in 1839, it being the first female
college in Europe. The establishment of
the .Macon colege was due mainly to the
personal efforts of Alexander 'Stevens, the
great Georgia statesman. That female col
lege has been his life work. In the notice
of the death of that Englishman, whose
name was James Coleman Whi'te, .the Free
man's Exmouth Journal of the 10th saya:
“Mr. 'White is the father of the head of
•Montpellier College and he and bis family
■have been connected with the school for
over fifty years.”
The Milledgeville “boys and girls” wht)
were sucn in 1847 and 1848, among whom
were 'the Hon. 'Walter Paine, Captain T. F.
Newell, Captain Thomas Conn, whose
names I recall, still residing in Milledge
ville; ‘Mrs. Lizzie Lewis McCauley, of Ai
lan'ta; Mrs. Kate Dowsing, of Waynesboro;
Dr. Henry S. Orme, of Los Angeles, Cal.;
the Hon. J. C. Compton, of Selma, Ala.;
Mrs. Rosa White Clendenia, of Alabama;
William Barnes, of San Francisco, Cal.;
Colonel Pierce E. Horne, of Dalton, Ga.;
Colonel John P. Font, Mt. Airy, Ala.; Cap
tain A. R. Tinsley, of Macon, Ga.; Dr.
Thomas Spalding Paine, of Thomasville,
Ga.; my sister. Miss Kate Fort, and my
self, both of Chattanooga, Tenn.; are 'the
names I recall of those who were scholars
under Mr. 'White and are still living.
He was wonderfully fitted to become a
successful teacher. Steel pens had been in
vented and had come into common use. He
would not allow a steel pen in his school.
Blotting pads had 'been introduced, but
no blotting pads were allowed, we used
black sand. We were required to be very
promtly at our places and if tardy lost our
places in the race for prizes.” These races
lasted for six weeks. The prizes consisted
of books, toys or slates or something ueful
an duitable for children. It is difficult do
realize to what extent every scholar strug
gled for eight hours each day for these
prizes. Every child was required during
s-tudy hours to study. If the scholar looked
off his book once during the (lay it gave
■him a »black mark. Twice gave another,
and three times, ‘the 'teacher gave him or
her a whipping. Our parents sustained the
teacher in discipline such as would cause a
riot in our present schools. There may
have been, and no doubt were, some dull
scholars, but all learned. Teachers woulid
take notice of anything happening during
school hours or whilst going to or return
ing from school. Parents believed if you
spared the rod you spoiled 'the child. Mr.
'White was not an exception to this kind
of control of his school. But he loved his
children, encouraged the dull and timid,
and they loved him with an intensity of
devotion seldom equaled and never excell
ed. Peace to his ashes. Mankind has been
•the gainer that James Coleman White
lived. Tomlinson Fort.

Scrofula, a Vile
Inheritance.
Scrofula is the most obstinate of blood
troubles, and is often the result of an
inherited taint in the blood. S. S. S.
is the only remedy which goes deep
enough to reach Scrofula; .it forces out
every trace of the disease, and cures
the worst cases.
My son, Charlie, was afflicted from‘infancy
with Scrofula, and he suffered so that it was
impossible to dress him
for three*'years. His
head and body were a
mass of sores, and his
eyesight also became
affected. No treatment
was spared that we
thought, would relieve
him. but he grew worse
until his condition was;
indeed pitiable. I had]
almost despaired of his
ever being cured, when
by the advice of a friend
we gave him S. S. S.
(Swift’s Specific). Ade-
eided improvement was the result, and aft*i
he had a dozen bottles, no one who knew
of his former dreadful condition would hays
recognized him. All the sores on his bodv
have healed, his skin- is perfectly clear anß
smooth, and he has been restored to perfect
health. Mrs. S. S. Mabry.
359 Elm St., Maebn. Ga.
For real blood troubles it is a waste
of time to expect a cure from the doc
tors. Blood diseases are beyond theii
skill. Swift's Specific,
S.S.SM. Blood
reaches all deep-seated cases which
bther remedies have no effect upon. It
is the only blood remedy guaranteed
purely vegetable, and contains no pot
ash, mercury, or other mineral.
