The Georgia Antitrust Law.

There is much discussion in GeOr
gia as to the probable effect of the
antitrust law in that State A whole
sale grocer, in conversation with a re-
porter Of the Atlanta Constitution
said:
mo local law can ever bring relief
to the people for the reason that when
the wholesale grocer goes on to buy
his goods he finds the trust in full
force and he is compelled to take he
prices which are set down. When Il
wholesale man goes on to buy his
matches he has to pay the regular
price, for the trust regulates that, and
the Georgia law has no more force
than the bray ing OF an ass. For re
lief to come to the people, as l have
said, there must be national legtsla-
tion, and let the blow be aimed al
the manufacturer and not at the tail
of the procession"

At least some Of our people had had
the previous pleasure Of bearing all
the artists VINO contributed to this de-
iightful entertainment, with the
single exception of Miss Bonnie
Oates, of Charlotte, and they felt that
she was not an entire stranger, be-
cause they were acquainted somewhat

and melody of her voice, coupled with
her cultured, graceful and skIllful
execution of the conceptions OF must
Cal masters, and hence expectation
was wrought to high key. But, with
all this, Miss Oates was equal to the
occasion and scored a great success, as
was attested by the rapturous applause
which greeted her every appearance
and by the hearty and repeated en-
cores which she received.
So well pleased was the audience
teacher Of elocution at Greensboro Fee
male College. that she was compelled
to render an encore piece to each of
her two numbers upon the programme.
Prof. Shirley, of Salem Female
Academy, scored the rather musical
honor Of receiving an encore to a
piano solo.
Prof. Brockman, the wellknown
violinist, very skillfully manipulated
that instrument and shared in the
plaudits of the pleased audience
Miss Van Week and Mr.. Huyck, &C
of course, did their parts
most crediGably. Their superiors would
be difficult to find. Mr.. Butner, the
flute soloist, was not present.
The liberal patronage bestowed
upon the concert will greatly enhance
the facilities of the Public School Lii
hrary, which fact should be an added
pleasure to the full moneys worth
given by the enjoyable and merito
rious entertainment.
Prof. j j. Blair requests US to re-
turn thanks to Messrs. Schouler,
