ID PREPARE FOR
 ORPHANS OUTING All Committees Will RepOrt at St. Paul's Wednes-
 day Night

In order to avoid confliction with the church services. the weekly meeting of the Jefferson County Orphans association will be held Wednesday night at St. Paul's hall instead of Thursday night, as formerly.
 At this meeting all the standing and special committees will make report and the final arrangement for the big outing and picnic to be held July 30 at the fair grounds will be made
 George Rotterman, president of the as- sociation, states that everything is in good shape for the big event and that indca- tions point to a reeord-breaking crowd.
 One of the big events at the outing will be ball game between picked team from the Tennessee Coal Iron and Rail- road company and one from the Young Mems Christian association. Both teams are rated high in amateur circles and a fine game is expected
 The outing of the Jefferson County Orphans association has been an annual event for several years past. It is held for the purpose of raising funds for the East Lake orphanage, whose needs are urgent. for with the growth of the coun- ty has come corresponding increase in the number of dependent little ones to be cared for. The doors of the insti- tuition are open to all regardless of faith or creed and Is considered one of the best of its kind in the south
 The annual outing, given under the auspices of the association, is one of it's principal sources of revenue and the officers and persons interested are ex- peoting a generous response.

POLICEMAN KILLS
 CHARLIE HARRIS Negro Was Trying to Shoot Policeman, According to
 Report of Case

Charlie Harris. negro wanted for as- sault with intent to murder Frank Polk, . negro, was shot and instantly killed at Sixth street, when he resister arrest by Officer H. H. Moreland The killing occurred at about 7:30 o'clock.
 Accounts of the affair are that Charlie Harris, who Is driver for the pest house wagon and generally known amongst his race as 'bad nigger,'' had a quarrel yesterday morning with Frank Polk, and seriously cutt him. The negro Polk was taken to the Hillman hospital and the police started off after Harris.
 It was not until about o'clock last night that Chief of Detectives Sydney Darnell received the tip that Harris was back at his home preparing to leave the city. Chief Darnell with Detectives Pittman and Officer Moreland started for the scene in the emergency automobile and on arrival saw the negro through the windows packing his trunk.
 Officer Moreland went to the rear of the house. Detective Pittman to the side windows and Chief Darnell to the front door. Darnell scalled upon the ne- gro to open the door. There issued a commotion, Darnell, knowing that there was trouble, kicked in the front door, ran into the house just as the reports of Officer Moreand's pistol reached him. On entering a rear room Chief Darnell saw the negro Harris stretched out on his face, and in his hand was a long bareled 32-2O Smith and Wesson pistol. He was quite dead.
 said Officer Moreland when Darnell started his racket at the front door. Harris saw me as quick as I saw him, for he raised his gun and started snap him have all that was in it, for it looked him have all that was in it, for it looked like a case of him or me-"
 An examination of the negro showed that he had been struck by four bullets. It also showed that his pistol was empty. This Is accounted for by the detectives in the fact that Harris owned more than one pistol and simply picked up one that was unloaded when he started out His pockets contained several dozen cartridges and Chief Darnel states that undoubtedly Officer Morelands life was saved because of the "oarelessness of the negro in picking up an empty pistol"
 Immediately after the killing of the negro, Chief Darnell notified Coroner Spain, who ordered the body removed.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Purging State Pension Rolls


To the Editor of The ge-Herald In your issue of the 11th inst. 1t is as serted that l have said That over 30 of the 1o40 persons drawing pensions ii Jefferson county were not entitled tt them.n
 l have never made any such statement personally or officially. Recently, as the committee of the state board of pen sons examiners. I have sent citations tc 2s7 pensioners of Jefferson county inform ing them that their records in the pen sion office are not what the law requires and inviting them, in legal phrase, to correct the errors apparent on the rec ords.
 They have ample time in which to dc so. and I will aid them in their efforts to the best of my ability.
 For years past the pension roll of Ala bama has been a byword of reproach to all the people of the state, and this effoft to establish the military record of every rensioner according to law should have the support of the pensioners themselves, instead of arousing their indignation.
 Let me ask them if they want desert CTS, negroes, railroad laborers, home guards, exempts, bushwhaokers and men who have no military record in the Con- fecerate army and refuse to furnish one, kept on the pension, .ollf
 If so, they want the pension examiners to violate ths law and give the money ap- lropriated to the veterans of the Con federacy who served well and faithfully to those for whom it was never designed. That would be to violate the law and cheat the true veterans.
 Suppose a widows name appears on the pc enson roll wto has failed to give the name of her deceased husband or his military record, one or both. Should she Lot be required to correct this garing er- TOT, or If she fails to do so, be stricken fl om the pension roll?
 Suppose widow Is on the roll, and on exs imitation it is discovered that her hus- blnd served In the United States army, or that he deserted the Confederate states beca use he Is poor woman, and in spite of the law?
 Suppose that widow is on the roll and on Investigation it is discovered that she is a negress, must she be retained de- spite the fact that there never was a ne- gro soldier in the Confederate states army?
 of numerous cases that come up every day in the course of this investigation.
 The real veterans of the Confederacy want the pension roll to be a roll of hoEor and the small sum of money which the state giy them to be regarded as a tribute of praise to their courage and fidelity as soldiers.
 Such has been the design of all legisla- tion on the subject, and l feel sure that it is the sentiment of all thoughtful people Respectfully, F. s. FERGUSON.
 Montgomery, July II, 1914.
