AUGUSTA, January 25.-Thankful
Colored Baptist Church was closed by
the sheriff this morning, and Mr.. L. +.
Pritchard was appointed temporary re-
ceiver by Judge Roney. The trouble

too ignorant to preach TO an educated
congregation of this enlightened age,
and who has denied them their rights

the minority, Hho favored his views, to

the Reed rule. which has been 80 OBJ
noxious in politics, has ruled in their
charch with Talbert as moderator.

a einionaire Forty years Hence.
From the Janttaru Fortln


Unless some great change takes place in
our financial or social system. the billion
aire is certainly coming, and at rapid
pace. True, vast fortune does not null
tiply by mere interest, If kept at home,
quite so rapidly as one of more moderate
size, on account of the difficulty of rein
vesting such enormous incomes at full rates
of interest. But it is also true that in other
respects large fortunes tend to increase
much more rapidly than very small ones.
OPP, ,ortunities for large profits on special
transactions are presented to millionaires
far more often than to others. They are
more likely to gain by "the unearned in
crement.n They can afford to pay for the
very best service, and they can and do Sc
cure agents Of great ability and integrity.
Such agents can as easily make safe invest
ments in the west at s per cent. as in the
east at 5 per cent Small capitalists must
keep their money at home, because they
cannot watch over distant investments or
afford to employ local agents. These ad-
vantages m re than compensate for the
lower rate of interest which large capital
lists often have TO accept on home invest
ments in consequence of their rapid aocu-
mutation.
Thus we see that in the last twenty years,
while rates of interest have been constantly
declining in America, vast fortunes have
increased more rapidly than ever before.
Several non-speculative estates have in
creased fivefold in less than forty years
Interest is now very low; but, adding to
interest the steady increment of city lands,
an addition of at least per cent. per an
mum, at compound Interest, may be counted
upon for these great estates. At that rate,
present fortune of 50 200, 900 would be-
come billion $1,000, 900 900 in less than
forty years. Financial conditions remain
ing unchanged, the American Millionaire
might reasonably be looked for within that
time and several billionaires might be sx-
pected within sixty years

Annie Pixley in the Ever-Popular
"Mliss" asst Night.
The theater was packed with the old and
new admirers of Annie Pixley last night.
The same old play "M'liss, or the Child OF
the Sierras," was presented with the same
old enthusiasm, and was enjoyed by the
same appreciative audience that greet it at
every appearance throughout this country.
Miss Pixley's identity with this popular
drama losses none of its well-earned repu-
tation, and her acting grows more realistic
as the play grows in age. She will always
continue favorite on the boards at Sa-
va nah.
The support was first-class in every par
ticular. All the details OF the exciting
scenes and situations were well presented,
and the large audience showed their appre-
citation OF this ever popular western dra-
matization by frequent and enthusiastic APP
pIaus6.

OPPOSITION TO THE ORDINANCE.

OPPOSITION TO THE ORDINANCE.
Alderman Cam also opposed the ordi-
nance as it stood. because the proposition
was made to the Middle Georgia and At
lantlc upon direct representation that the
road was to be built from Atlanta to Savan-
| nah, and that it was in actual course of
construction at that time. Under the ordi-
nance as read, title absolute was
TO be given the road as soon
as 1t bridged the river, COMPLETED two
miles of track on the island, and fifty miles
inward. This, to his mind, gave plenty OF
room for speculation.
Alderman Cam said he understood it
was the intention 10 get Savannah an OPEN
ing to Atlanta, and after that it
connections with the west, COM
pete with other places, and increase the
business Of the city. He SAID he could not
vote for it in its present shape.
Col Garrard, counsel for the road, re-
piled to the objections, and said that the
willingness of the road to spend about
$3.50. 900 in bridging the river and laying
the fifty miles Of track ought to be sufh-
Gent guarantee of good faith on the part Of
the promoters Of the enterp Use to carry it
to successful building. He said that, in
regard TO Alderman Fall;gant's claim that
the deed under the wording OF the
ordinance would be in danger Of
being contested, the road was willing to
take such chances
Alderman Falligant said his whole objec-
tion was the looseness of the wording Of the
ordinance, and he believed that If council
would postpone action for a short while
matters could be harmoniously settled.
The upshot of the whole matter was the
referring back Of the ordinance to the COM
mittee Of the whole, to be considered at
meeting tonight.
