6 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. A TEXAS WONDER. Hall’s Great Discovery.

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.
