Mn. Britton Blocked Trade Of
Huggins For Mitchell Back

Clark Grifith has peddled Mike
Mitchell to the Richmond (va.) Inter-
national league team. With the league
shaky, Mike IL surely facing crisis.
The passing Of Mitchell Is another
tribute TO Mrs. Schuyler Pearson Brit
toms baseball acumen and q hard
jolt for one Roger Patrick Bresnahan.
Back In 1912 Bresnahan. then man
ager of the st. Louis Cardinals, had q
brain-storm when Mrs. Britton declin-

said Brssnahan TO Mrs. Britton.
But viii not part with Higgins;

that frequently parties aggrieved will
take out warrant for the arrest of Il
Laborer and put the county to consid-
cradle expense and cost in going after
said defendant, and after his arrest an
agreement will be made and the war
rant dismissed and not prosecuted and
thus putting the county to great and
unnecessary cost.
NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved by
the Board of Commissioners of Roads
and Revenues of Sumter County that
we earnestly ask the Justice of Peace
and other officers issuing Criminal or
State warrants for offences of this
kind, that they discourage the issuance
of such warrants, and if the Prosecu-
tor insists upon a warrant, that sucn
officer may exercise discretion and au-
thority vested in him by authority of
Code section 90S of the Penal Code,
and require the applicant, before the
issuance of such warrant, to file a
bond with sufficient security to pros
ecute the Suit in the event of Com
initial, and to issue no warrant, unless
on such case, in the Judgment of the
officer there is strong possibility of
conviction. BY doing so the County
will be saved unusual and unnecessary
cost for arrest, jail fee, etc.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that
the Secretary of this Board furnish a
copy of this resolution to each of the
committing Courts of Justice of the
Peace in this County.

PARIS, Feb. 16.-So far as the pub
lie knows, the military courts have
thus far had few sensational cases. In
view of the frequency of spy stories
many people are astonished not to hear
every day or so of a traitor or a for
eign spy being condemned to death. As
rule these cases are handled Wy

init has already been shot before the

the routine business with which the
regular sitting of the courtmauial
have to do. Desertions, disrespect to
superiors, aggFessions of all sorts and
misdemeanors make up the calendar.
A class of cases that is common
is like that of Abdallah ben Said va
hion, Algerian rifleman, who fell a
victim to the warm hospitality of Pa
ris. Recovering from a wound, he
was ordered to rejoin his regiment
near Marseilles. He had never seen
Paris and so many people showered
things upon him he thought it was a
pity to leave. He lived like prince

Azdallah was formally sentenced to

of Jacques Dellone into court. Dellone

there will be any change in the interest
rate from the figure the American bank
ers have all along thought necessary.
Il is an essential that the British bonds
shall have a wide market, that they
shall be as liquid as, say, the French
acceptances, which can be rediscounted
with the Federal Reserve banks. But
while the foreign commissioners can
hope for no bettermcnt in the interest

locomotives Worst Year.

1t is not surprising that the Loco
motive report in its income account
should be distinctly bad, because work
upon the war orders could not begin
Immediately in April, and deliveries
which meant payments-were not ex-
peeted TO begin at least until Septem-
Der. Without the war orders the COM
pany by now must have found itself in
a bad way, when ths result Of the fis-
cal year ended JUNE 80 was a net loss
Of $l,491 $50, and the dividends on the
pr ferred stock, amounting to $780,
900, had to be taken out Of the earn
ings of previous years. Not in the
fourteen years of its existence has the
company suffered such a severe de-
preston as in l9l4-15. 1t is striking
evidence of the wide fluctuations in
co -ipment business that gross sales Of
only S9,303,29s should have come in a
year Immediately following one in
which the sales amounted TO about
$4,000, 900 and two years after the rec
ord of S54,S00,000 was established.

OUTLOOK FOR YEAR
PROMISING ONE
American Locomotive Company
Reports Large Foreign Orders
for 1876.

Stockholders of the American Loco
motive COMPANY who may have awaited
the publication of the annual report for
a detailed statement regarding the
amount Of "war orders" on the COM
pany's books will be disappointed. The
only reference made to this character
Of business is in the following short
paragraph:
During the first nine months of the
year there was only a small amount of
new business booked. Since April, how
ever, this company has secured large
foreign orders for delivery during the
fiscal year 1876. In addition to
these the company had $5,s3s,235 Of
locomotive orders on the books June
80, 1915, as compared with s4,162,356 on
June 80, 1914. In view of the new for
eign business on the books and the
prospect of an increase in the demand
for locomotives, which we are amply
prepared to take care of, the outlook
for the coming year is promising.
As 10 the business of the last fiscal
period the report says that at no time
during the fourteen years OF its exist
ence did the company suffer so severe
a depression. The gross earnings
amounting to $9,303,298, were in
sufficient to meet the manufacturing,
admins trative and other expenditures
incurred in operations. This resulted
in a deficit of s451 ,296, in addition TO
which there was charged off for de
probation s1,040,683, making a total
deficit Of S1,491 $50.
The per cent accumulative dividend
on the preferred stock, amounting to
s1,75O,0O0, was paid out of surplus,
making a total reduction in this &C
count of s3,241, $50 and leaving bal
ance in this account on June 80 last
of sS,293,677.
The gross earnings were only about
II per cent of those for the year 1912
10, and were less than half of those
for 1908-'O9, which as the result of the
financial panic Of 1907 were the worst
previous showing in the company's his
tory The report adds:
"The outbreak of the European war
at the beginning of August, 1914, made
a continued depression in our business
more than probable. Accordingly the
curtailment in salarled forces carried
out in previous years was supplemented
by a further retrenchment in expenses.
This included a deduction in salaries
Of all the executive officers and sal
aried employees. In addition work upon
the few orders that were received was
concentrated at the Schenectady works,
so that the other plants could be closed
and the manufacturing expenses cut
down. The Schenectady and Cooke
plants, operating at low percentage
of capacity, were the only plants out
of the eight owned by the company
which were not closed either entirely
or for large part Of the year
