game I'm such a big territory: The

sBportsmen Is a revision Of state laws

aiding it to increase. In Germany,

enough to enable the government to
do a great deal in the process OF re-

TIME AND PLACE TO GET A HOME.

Time is Now The place is Tus-
kegee, Macon County, Ala!
Every man who is at the head Of a
family or plans to have a family
should buy a home, either lot in a
village or a farm. Colored people can
find no better place in which to per
manently settle than in Macon Coun-
ty, Ala, in which the Tuskegee Insti-
tute is located.
In the first place, the white people
in Macon County are among the finest
and fairest in the world. No racial
friction exists, justice is melted out
to black and white alike.
In the second place, there are ten
thousand acres of farming land in
Macon County, which can be bought
for cash or on easy terms.
Third if persons do not wish to buy
land, but wish to move into the county
and rent, and work by the day, they
can easily arrange to do this.
Fourth, aside from the land scat
tered in other sections of Macon
County, there are fourteen hundred
acres of land in small tracts for sale
within sight of the Normal School.
Fifth, the public schools for colored
people in Macon County are the best,
in our opinion, in the South.

During the summer months Nashville
is the mecca for educators, not that
they all belong here, but come some
times for inspiration, sometimes tor
recreation and sometimes for consul
tation. Generally these distinguished
personages at some stage or their
lives have been students or connected
with the educational institutions OF
the city. For more than week Prof
w. w. Dogan, A. M, President of Wi
lev University, big Methodist school
located at Marshall Texas, has been
sojourning in the city. Prof. Dogan
has been the guest or his brother-in-
law, DR.. J. A. Mcmillan, and while here
successfully evaded an interview from
a Globe reporter. The record that
Prof. Dogan has made in building up
the school in Texas is no secret as the
school has grown tremendously under
his charge. 1t is learned that Prof.
Dogan came to Nashville from Gin
cinnati, Ohio, where he went to meet
the executive committee of the Freed
mans Aid Society, of which DR.. M. c..
B. Mason is one of the secretaries.
1t is presumed that his visit to Gin
cinnati was in connection with the ed
vocational work at Wiley University,
which institution the Society has rec
ognized on more than one occasion on
account of the standing and the
achiements of its president. Pro-
Dogan at one time lived in this city
being connected with the old Central
Tennessee College long before it be-
came Walden University, hence his
stay was made all the more pleasant.
He is one of the students that remem-
bers DR.. Braden and his work at the
school,

LATIN AMERICA TRADE IN 'o8.
Decline of Millions Shared by the
United States.

Economic causes which affected COM
mercial centers throughout the world
during 1905 had serious effect on the
countries composing the international
union of American republics. shown
by figures compiled by the International
Bureau of American Republics.
The aggregate of trade for the various
countries during 1908 was S4,S4S019 ,947
against So. 415, $50. 1877 in the preceding
year. a loss Of over s5JOOOO.OOO In the
total for the year the share of the United
States is represented by 81. S63. 91so, 9oS, as
compared with 1896. 025 in 1907. a de-
crease of s477.313.U97 being indicated.
Latin America figured in the grand total
for S1,977, 137 ,O19. showing decline of
$s9647,5S9 in the trade volume as COM
pared with 1907.
ing 1905 showed a decline of S107. O43, s14
while on the other hand exports show a
gain of S1J,J7S, FOL over 1907.
The figures show that in spite of GER
tain adverse conditions in the financial
world the demand for articles of Latin
American origin created trade balance
in favor of the producing countries to
the extent of $191 .229. 023, to which ex-
tent the exports for the year exceeded
the imports. In the years total for

IDA LEWIS SAVES FIVE GIRLS
LIME ROCK HEROINE ROWS
OUT TO RESCUE.
Sixty Eight Years Old, Aged Light
house Tender Still Alert to
Preserve Life.

NEWPORT, August Ada Lewis. the
Grace Darling of America, who, from
Lime Rock lighthouse, off this harbor,
had saved the lives of eighteen persons
added five more lives to her splendid rec
ord Monday evening.
Ida Lewis is sixty-eight years old, and
for thirty years has kept burning the
light of Lime Rock, helping and succeed
ing her father. Capt. Hosea Wilson.
Through angry seas she has rowed to
lift the drowning in her tossing boat; the
American Congress and foreign societies
have decorated her with medals; all New
port honored her when she celebrated
her golden anniversary as an occupant
of the lighthouse.
A steamboat from New York, the Com
monwealth, gave the aged lifesaver the
opportunity she took so quickly. The
Commonwealth raised so heavy swell
at Fall River that she upset a towboat
from which q man was drowned, 1t Is
said
An hour later the Commonwealth round
ed the south end of the torpedo station
here, leaving and spreading tumultuous
wake I'D to that time the water had
been as smooth as a sea of ice. and five
froIicking girls had ventured out on 1t in
the moonlight.
The waves overturned their boat; in
stantly they were shriekinS and strug-
CLING.
Ida Lewis from her eyrie at the south
end of the harbor on cluster of rocks
saw the girls danger and jumped into
her lfeboat, named like the first one
the Rescue.
With a bravery and vigor remarkable
in a woman of nearly three score and
ten she rowed to the girls and one after
another lifted them into her boat. She
would not tell their names: she described
her feat most modestly.
