On Thursday the Jefferson County Or phans' association will hold it's annual outing at the grounds of the Alabama State Fair at Fairview. The purpose of the affair is to raise funds for the support of the East Lake orphanage where many of the helpless and dependent children of the county are cared for. The outing is the principal method of raising reve- nue and the officials of the institution appeal to a generous public to help them meet the growing financial obligations Sect or creed are not considered where knock is made at the portals of the Institution for the admission of little helpless one, and it's doors are thrown wide open for it's reception. It Is worthy institution and is considered one of the best of it's kind in the country
 There is nothing more appealing to the human heart than helpless, dependent children. Denied the priceless heritage of mothers love and a fathers care, de- nied the home life, be it ever so humble with it's attendant sacred memories, these little waifs are absolutely dependent on the generosity of the public for their support and maintenance And the off, NidiS bcHcNt a generous puDl1c will come to their relief
 As Is the case with other institutions the expenditures have increased until they nave exceeded the income. With the growth of the county has come greater demands on the resources of the orphan age. The financial needs are pressing your help is needed and needed now Won't you help? Your attendance at the outing will not only help, but it will encourage those who have taken upon themselves the responsibility of this mo- Die Institution. It is as much your re- sponsibility as 1t is theirs, but they are Willing to bear it, and only ask a mite now and then. It is not sect or creed that is calling, it is the call of prattling voices and little outstretched arms yearn- Ing for love and sympathy and compass sion You will help. won't you? 'Inas- much as ye did it to one of these little ones ye did 1t unto Me"
 Then, again, just think what a splendid programme the committee has provided It Is worth many times the price of admission Baseball games between the best amateur teams of the district. mo- torcycle races with riders of note. foot races of all kinds, including sack, potato and three-legged races; shooting contests.

 And not only that, they have made ar arrangements to have on hand the finest barbecued meats that can be cooked and served and other refreshments. In fact, the committee has left nothing undone that will add to the pleasure of the occa- sion. Everybody can be assured that they will have a good time and the commit tee contends that it has made ample preparations to look after record-break ing crowd as indications point that such will be the case.
 A word about the baseball teams that will cross bats on this occasion. The principal game will be that between crack teams of the Steel Plant league or bet ter known as the T. c. I. team and the Y. M c. A. team of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company. Both these teams have made enviable records in the city leagues and a "cracker-jack'' game is assured.
 The lineup of the two teams will show the names of many of the best players in the district and is as follows
 T. C. 1.--Reese,s second base; Ponder third base; Bush. catcher; Vaughn, short stop; Pratt, first base; Matthias, left field; !; McGlawn. right field; Civilian. center field; Roberts, pitcher; Rammage, man. ager.

 It will be seen from the lineup that the teams are we'll matched and are sure to, put up a great article of ball. As an additional feature of the game Joe Burke, better known as "Calliope," has offered his services as umpire. which were promptly accepted by the committed
 The committee states that the event will be held regardless of the weather as it has provided ample indoor amuse- ments should the weather prove in element.
 There Is no more worthy cause than this in the city and as has already been stated the institution needs the money." The people of Birmingham have been generous in the past in helping this cause and the officials of the association are hoping that this year all previous records will be broken, both in attendance and in the generosity of those who cannot attend.

London, July 31.-While Austrian
invaders and Servian troops were
fighting the opening stages of their
war on Servian territory European
statesmen and rulers were engaged
in what they regarded as the almost
hopeless task of trying to avert a
general clash of the millions compos-
ing the armies of the great European
powers. AT Fotcha, in Bosnia, the
Servians were defeated, losing 500.
The Austrians lost 200. Preparations
for a general European war went on
steadily in every country likely to
be involved and the complications of
the situation were augmented by a
rumor that Japan also might join in
the conflict.
