The opposition of Joe Hill Hall, „f Hlbb: AJken. of Bartown, and a fen- others, who objected to the wording nf the measure, and who delayed action until the hour for adjourning, prevent, ed the passage of the measure at the morning session. The house was clear, ly In sympathy with the general ob- Jerts of the bill, but objected to the details of the bill offered. The bill provides for the prevention of the adulteration, misbranding nnd imitation of food for man or beasts, of beverages, candles nnd condiments, of medicines, drugs and liquors, or their manufacture and sale In the state ,>f Georgia. It prescribes penalties for the violations. It provide* for the inspec- tlon and analysts of these various arti cles by tho state department of agr|. culture. It makes It necessary for the commissioner of agriculture when nti article has been reprted to him by the state chemist as being adulterated to certify the fact of adulteration to the district attorney of the United States In ense tho article comes under the Interstate law, or under the Jurisdiction of the United States. The national pure food law has already made It the duty of the United State* district at torneys when they receive such notifi cation to prosecute the offenders In the United States courts, but If the article adulterated comes under the jurisdic tion of the state laws then the state so licitors are required to prosecute all offenders under tho law In the court of the Btates.

He withdrew his resolution upon the objection by the author that t’tls would mean the defeat of the bill. -Mr. Hall, of Bibb, moved that the bill be tabled, and the committee report progress. He was ruled out of order, not having the floor. Mr. Hall gained the floor and objected that the bill was very Imperfect. Mr. Wright made r. strong appeal that the measure, which, be believed, was favored by every member, be pasted at this time In order that It might go to the senate before the close nf session. The bill provides that <10,000 be ap propriated for carrying out the provis ions of the food Inspections, the bill to take effect fr< m AuLUst 1. 1907. Opposition to Bill. Mr. Wright spoke to the bill, urging Its passage. He was willing to correct all defects In wording which might be suggested. He was anxious to perfect the measure.

Three officials are Includ ed. their term of office to be limited. The sum of <10,000 or as much a* necessary Is appropriated.

The bin provides for the prevention of adulter ation of stock food, as well a* foods nnd drug* intended for human con sumption. Labels bearing misleading names and other deception are forbid- den. Mr. Wright called attention to the recent exposures of Impure meat la Atlanta. Mr, Hall’s Opposition. Mr. Hall, of Bibb, opposed the meas- sure, saying It waa crudely drawn slavishly copied from the act of con- tvess, and containing sections nog ap plicable to a state law. He moved the committee recommend the bill be ta bled. There ws* no second and the motion was withdrawn. Mr. Akin, of Bartow, spoke against the bill ** drawn nnd called attention to error* In details. He wished to amend the section providing for an appropriation by providing that the Inspector* and officers be paid out of fee* and fines.
