An agreeable surprise was accorded the Rev. Middleton S. Barnwen yes terday morning when over 100 mem bers of the Kiwanis club, of which he Is the new president, and their wives and families. attended the morning g services at the Church of the Advent.
 The attendance of the club at Dr. EarnWelPs church was secretly planned and. while seats had been reserved for the visitors. Dr. Barnwell knew noth- ing of their presence until he as- sumed his place in the pulpit There was no special service or sermon ar ranged.
 The kiwanians formed at the Tut wiler and marched to the church in a body and as five members of the vestry of the church. Col T. O. Smith. M. II. Nevins. J. W. Mcqueen. Press ley Toulman and s. F.

Weekly Cotton Review
By Associated Press

New Orleans, January 1.-The range of prices in the cotton market last weel, was comparatively narrow. 99 to IA points. and vet trading was fairly ac- tive throughout the week and, on the whole, large volume of business was transacted. Conflicting influences pre-
 vented the market from moving very far the week end session being typical of this state of affairs, advances in the
 morning on favorable view of trade
 conditions being wiped out and replaced
 by net declines on the rumors that the
 German government had been over
 thrown. The net changes for the week
 were declines of 19 to g points.
 On the close January stood at 39 s0c
 and March at S5Sc which prices com
 pared with 41c as the closing price on
 middiing spots. The discount on con-
 tracts was stock argument with bullish
 traders.
 Much comment was caused by the large
 mill takings og the week. 41l,0o0 bales
 against 3o3,0Oo the same week last year
 ana 54o,ooo two years ago and by exports
 for the week of 215, 26O bales against 134 : $50 last year and 91,629 two wears ago. The comparatively large ginning during the eighth ginning period of the season. as disclosed by the returns to the first ot January from the census bureau Fri day morning, was considered bearish by most people and resulted in considerable selling. The total ginned to January of l0.O17,OS9 bales indicated production for the period of 6l3000 bales against 493 oo0 the same period last year and 303,000 two years ago.
 The market is now sensitive to news O. this sort and any further unfavorable rumors or reports will probably have quick effect

Confederate Arsenal Building Al Selma
 Destroyed By Fire

Selma, Ala, January J. fire destroyed the old Confederate ar 'enal building here this evening.
 At o'clock flames were seen issuing rom the building, a one story brick structure covering about an acre of ground. It was used as a cotton ware louse. Three hundred bales were burned The loss is covered by insurance.
 The lost building was the scene of much of the ordnance strength of the Confed- eracy. Here cannon were cast and bored and some smaller arms were manu- factured
 Metal was brought to Selma from all ,arts of the Confederate States of America. One lot of metal in particular deserves mention The bells of St. Michaefs church, Charleston, S. C., were here cast into cannon early in the war, and saw three years active service at the front They were never captured. though they took part in most of the major engagements of the conflict. The bells had been cast in Belgium early in the seventeenth century, being a special order for this particular church. The beautiful edifice was designed, by Sir Christopher Wrenn, the great English architect, who remodelled the British
