"In the meantime the feeling is very bitter

there is against the act as passed is the discrimi
nation in favor Of authorizing the sale of domes-
tic wines of Georgia, while at the same time
shutting out the product of other States. The
Supreme Court will never tolerate any such doc

are confident if they can only get to the Su-

n few friends Of the contracting parties.
None of Bc;Zfcldcr's relatives knew that
he was to be married. His best man was
John Moran, and the bridesmaid was Miss
Kittie Norm. It is said that Brctafeldcr

and told him that he was ready to dcnouucc

understood that he did so. lie belongs to
n highly respectable Hebrew family, but
