In the house Mon. day morning, tins argued throughout Ihe session and set as the flrst „rd*r of business for 3 o'clock In the aft« r . noon, a sptcial afternoon session b*. Ing voted. The opposition of Joe Hill Hall, nf Bibb; Aiken, of Bartown, and a few others, who objected to the wording of the measure, and who delayed aetlon until the hour for adjourning, prevent, ed the passage of the measure at th* morning session. The house was rlesr- 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 nf the adulteration, tnlabrandlng and Imitation of food for man or beasts, of beverages, candles and condiments, ef medicines, drugs and liquors, or their manufacture and sale In the state of Geoigla. It prescribe* penalties for the violations. It provides for the Inspec tion and analysis of these various artl. cles by the state department of agrl- culture. It makes It necessary for ths commissioner of agriculture when an article has been reprted to him by ths state chemist as being adulterated to certify the fact of adulteration to the district attorney of the United States In case the article comes under th* Interstate law. or under the Jurisdiction of the United States. The national pure food lew has already made It the duty of the United States district at torneys when they receive such tiotifl. cation So prosecute ths offenders In th* United States courts, but It ths artlrl* adulterated comes under the jurisdic tion of tbs state-laws then the stats so- Heitors are required to prosecute all offenders under the law In the court of the states. The law also goes Into detail In regard to the manner In which samples of food and feed stuff are to be taken. Speaker Slaton called the house to order at 10 o'clock. A second substitute "pure food" bill was offered for passage by Mr. Wright, of Floyd. This bill had been set as a special order of business. Mr. Wright explained that his bill was a substitute substitute drawn In order to avoid many amendments. This bltl conforms closely to Ihe national food measure passed by congress. Th* house was resolved into a committee of th* whole, with Mr. Knight, of Ber/den, in the chair. The bill, a voluminous document, was read. It was modeled closely on the lines of the national bill Mr. Felder moved that the bill be ut over to Thursday: that It might e printed and the members given an opportunity to study it. He withdrew his resolution upon the objection by the author that , this 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' th# bill wns very Imperfect. Mr. .Wright made a strong appeal that the measure, which, be believed, was favored by every member, tw passed nt thta time In order that It might go to the senate before the close of session. The bill provides that 310.000 be ap propriated for carrying out the provis ions nf the food Inspections, th# bill to take effect from August 1, 1907. Opposition to Bill. Air. Wright spoke to th© bill, urging Its passage. He was willing to correct alt defects In wording which might be suggested. He was anxious to perfect the measure. The bill met with the approval of the atnte chemist, who had consulted for the past month Dr. Wiley, of Washington He explnlned some de tails nf the bill n» follows: An Inspector to be paid 31.500 a year Is provided. Three officials are Includ ed, their term of ofllc# to be limited. The sum of 310.000 or as much as necessary Is appropriated. In states where similar bills have been enacted It had been found that the Income from fee* would exceed this amount. It would not cost the state a cent to put the measure In operation. , The bill provides for the prevention of adulter ation of stock food, as well as foods nnd drugs Intended for human con sumption. Labels bearing misleading nnmes nnd other deception ore forbid den. . . ' u . Mr. Wright called attention to th« recent exposures of Impure meat in Atlnnta. Mr. Hall's Opposition. Mr. Hall, of Bibb, opposed the mea*- sure, saying It w-as crudely drawn slavishly copied from the act of con gress, and containing sections ^>t ap plicable to a state law. He moved ths committee recommend the bill be ts- bled. There wns no second »nd th* motion was withdrawn. Mr. Akin, of Rartow. ppoke against the bltl as drawn and rolled attention to errors In details. He wished to amend ths section providing for an appropriation by providing that the Inspectors ana ofllcers be paid out of fees nnd flaes. Time wan extended after 1:3d on©*'* to permit a vote to be taken on inetni 1 as amended. The members beg*” leaving the house, and fearing that ■ quorum would not be present, sir.
