On April 13, 1918, the United States attorney for the Northern District of?
Georgia, acting upon a report by the commissioner of agriculture of Georgia,?
filed in the District Court of the United States for said district a libel for the?
seizure and condemnation of 470 sacks of corn, remaining unsold in the original?
unbroken packages at Sells, Ga., alleging that the article had been shipped on or?
about March 30, 1918, by the Town Creek Milling Co., Sweetwater, Tenn., and?
transported from the State of Tennessee into the State of Georgia, and charging?
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it con??
sisted in part of a decomposed vegetable substance.
On April 23, 1918, the said Town Creek Milling Co., claimant, having admitted?
the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was en??
tered, and it was ordered by the court that the product should be delivered to?
said claimant upon the payment of the costs of the proceedings and the execution?
of a bond in the sum of $1,000, in conformity with section 10 of the act.
