Section  20  of  this  Act  shall  apply. 
Sec.  2.  Be  it  enacted,  That  the  examinations  of  specimens  ot 
foods  and  drugs  shall  be  made  by  the  State  Chemist  of  Georgia,  or 
under  his  direction  and  supervision,  for  the  purpose  of  determining 
from  such  examination  whether  such  articles  are  adulterated  or 
misbranded  within  the  meaning  of  this  Act ;  and  if  it  shall  appear

to  the  United  States  District  Attorney,  in  whose  district  the  viola- 
tion may  have  been  committed  ;  but  if  it  be  under  the  jurisdiction 
of  the  courts  of  this  State,  then  the  Commissioner  shall  certify  the

all  persons  violating  any  of  the  provisions  of  this  Act  as  soon  as  he 
receives  the  evidence  transmitted  by  the  Commissioner  of  Agricul- 
ture. Alter  judgment  of  the  court,  notice  shall  be  given  by  publi- 
cation in  such  manner  as  may  be  prescribed  by  the  rules  and  regu- 
lations aforesaid.
