PIONEER COTTON.MILL.
Annual Meeting of the SfOcIxhOlders-
Directors Elected.

The directory of the iioneer Cotton
Mill held their annual meeting yesterday
to hear report OF the past years opera
tions from the president and treasurer.
From these reports it was shown that the
mills have made a net profit Of little
more than four per cent on their capital
stock, and it was decided by the directory
that the earnings should be utilized in
paying part of the Indebtedness incurred
for new machinery placed in the mill last
summer, consequently no dividend was de-
clared as had been expected by number
the stockholders. Last January the stock
holders voted ito increase the stock to an
amount necessary to purchase the addi-
tional machinery, but the directory at a
later perild decided it would be better
policy to borrow the money for the pur-
pose and not issue all of the stock author
lied. At the stockholders meeting, sub
sequent to that of the directors held yes
terday, the following gentlemen were
chosen as directors for the ensuing year:

garded as a test of its strength in the
Senate. The motion to recommit, after
some discussion, which hardly entered
into the merits of the main question, was,
upon division, lost by considerable ma
jority. Further discussion followed, in
the course of which the general economic
features of the treaty were commented
upon, chiefly by its opponents. 1t was
argued that the benefits to be de-
rived by the United States were exceed
ingly small. The list OF articles to be ad-
mitted by Mexico included but few not
already on her free list, and none of our
great manufactures or fabrics. 1t was also
said that Cuba was not far from Mexico,
and Cuban sugar and tobacco would find
free entry through Mexico into the
United States. A motion was made to
open the doors and continue the discus
sion in public. This was opposed on the
ground that many delicate questions re-
specting our relations with foreign coun-
tries and the effect upon them of the rati-
fication of the treaty were likely to arise,
which it would be unwise to discuss in
public. Pending a decision the session
closed

THE UNION REVIVAL.
The Sunday Services by the Rev. Sam
JOnes-His Good Work.

The weather had moderated very much
on Saturday evening, and Sunday morn
ing was ushered in with cloudless sky.
The attendance at all the churches was
larger than usual and the revival spirit
had spread to the various congregations.
At many of the churches the services
were unusually solemn and impressive,
and the pastors spoke with the additional
fervor and fire enkindled by the revival
meetings. Several pastors report addi-
tions to the churches and that many rose
for prayer at the close of the service.
Members of the First Baptist, First Meth
odist, Central Baptist and Cumberland
churches speak of the services at these
churches on Sabbath morning as more
tender, solemn and spiritual than any seen
for many years.
Sam Jones preached in the morning at
the First Methodist church to a very large
audience, and at night the Cumberland
church was crowded to its utmost capacity,
many not being able to get seats. Prof.
Hughes and his choir OF twenty or thirty
singers occupied the organ loft and led the
singing. A number OF ministers occupied
the platform around Mr.. Jones. The lat
ter took as his subject two passages OF
scripture-the words of Plate, "What
L have written l have written" and
the words of Paul, every man shall
give an account OF himself unto
God" His subject was treated under
three heads, Conscience, Record, God"
In plain, simple, Straightforward, earnest
manner he pressed home these thoughts
upon the hearts of his hearers. The at
tention throughout was marked, and he
held his hearers to the last. As an evil
dence OF the interest the sermon awakened
it is only necessary to say that
-
could be seen brushing away the unbidden
tear, and at the close of the sermon large
number arose for prayer. 1t is evident
that the interest is steadily spreading, and
it is hoped that this wicked city is on the
eve OF great revival. Whatever may be
said of Mr.. Jones as to his logic, learning
or culture, certain it is that few men can
hear him without confessing that his
preaching somehow does stir the heart
and makes one wish to be better. We
take the liberty of saying to our readers
that Mr.. Jones is not an ecclesiastioal
tramp, or an al Senturef, or professional
evangelist. He is the president of the Or
phan Home at Gainesville, Ga, under the
auspices OF the North Georgia Methodist
Conference, and he occasionally accepts
an invitation to do such work as he is now
doing in our city. He needs no indorse-
ment from us, and no attempted analysis
can do justice to his peculiar powers, Go
and hear him for yourself. He breaches
every morning and night this week at the
Cumberland church

Americans Discovered at Malaga.
WASHINGTON, January 1.-THE United
States Consul at Malaga reports to the De-
partment of State fraudulent scheme in
tended to obtain money from credulous
Americans recently discovered there, after
having apparently been for considerable
time in successful operation. 1t is as
follows The alleged cure of one

the head of family in the United States
that he attended in his dying moments
in prison "brigadier," who intrusted him
with the guardianship OF child and large
property. Relationship with the person
addressed and the young heir is intimated.
Considerable money is alleged TO have
been seereted by the "brigadier" during
his flight with the Carlist army, and secresy
as enioined on account of the sanctity
of the priestly office, and the efforts
of the Spanish government TO obtain the
secIeted fortune. The communication
ends with a request for money, to send the
child to its American relatives. The con-
sui adds that he is constantly receiving in
quiries from the United States about such
letters, and in some instances persons
from this country even visited Spain for
the purpose of securing the fortune sup
posed to be awaiting them.

the gross receipts for the quarter ending
December 81, 1888, were 50, $685. ,S76. This
is falling off in receipts for the
corresponding quarter OF the pre-
Yious year OF SlS3,S54, or three
tenths per cent. As the reduction
of postage went into effect during this
quarter, the returns were awaited with some
anxiety by the postal officials, who are in
some doubt in regard to the effect of the
reduced rate upon the departments
revenue. A loss of five per cent. has been
expected and these returns are very graft
flying. They indicate that the department
will be in receipt Of revenue sufficient to
at least meet the expenses OF the present
fiscal year.
