AFebrTryT?9aor7m'}      Draft  of  the  Proposed  Georgia  Law.  85 
Sec.  11.  Be  it  enacted,  That  samples  for  analysis  shall  be  taken 
by  the  duly  qualified  and  sworn  inspectors,  who  shall  take  samples 
of  such  articles  as  may  be  directed  by  the  Commissioner  of  Agri- 
culture, and  in  the  manner  prescribed  below  ;  whenever  practicable, 
samples  shall  be  taken  in  original  unbroken  packages  ;  said  package 
shall  be  wrapped  in  paper  and  tied  securely,  and  sealed  over  the 
cord  with  sealing-wax,  on  which  the  inspector  shall  impress  his  offi- 
cial seal.  That  in  cases  where  it  is  not  practicable  to  send  a  sample 
for  analysis  in  an  original  package,  as,  for  instance,  in  case  of  syrups, 
or  other  liquids  in  barrels,  or  flour  in  barrels,  etc.,  the  inspector  shall 
take  a  fair  sample  of  the  same  in  the  presence  of  the  seller,  place  it 
in  a  suitable  receptable,  securely  close  and  wax  it  and  impress  his 
official  seal  upon  the  wax  and  forward  the  same  to  the  Commissioner 
of  Agriculture.  In  the  execution  of  his  duties  the  inspector  shall 
have  free  access  at  all  reasonable  hours  into  any  place  where  it  is 
suspected  that  impure  foods  are  being  manufactured,  or  wherein  any 
article  of  food  or  drink,  drug  or  medicine,  adulterated  with  any 
deleterious  or  foreign  ingredients  exists.  In  calling  for  and  taking 
a  sample  of  any  goods,  the  inspector  shall  tender  to  the  seller  the 
market  price  asked  for  the  same. 
Sec.  23.  Be  it  enacted,  That  the  Commissioner  of  Agriculture, 
with  the  advice  of  the  Attorney-General,  shall  have  authority  to 
establish  such  rules  and  regulations  as  shall  not  be  inconsistent  with 
the  provisions  of  this  Act,  and  as  in  his  judgment  will  best  carry 
out  the  requirements  thereof.  He  may  exercise  discretion  as  to  the 
class  of  products  he  first  subjects  to  rigorous  inspection  and  analysis, 
realizing  that  the  fullest  and  most  complete  execution  of  this  law 
under  a  limited  appropriation  must  be  a  matter  of  growth.  His 
first  efforts  shall  be  more  particularly  directed  to  fostering  the  young 
and  growing  agricultural  and  manufacturing  industries  of  the  State, 
as  the  dairy,  beef,  fruit,  cotton-seed  oil  and  syrup  industries,  by  sup- 
pressing adulteration  in  butter,  cheese,  milk,  feed-stuffs,  ciders,  vine- 
gars and  syrups,  lard  and  lard  compounds. 
Sec.  24.  Be  it  further  enacted,  That  in  order  to  enforce  and  carry 
out  the  provisions  of  this  Act  the  sum  of  ten  thousand  dollars,  or 
so  much  thereof  as  may  be  necessary,  is  hereby  appropriated  and  set 
aside  out  of  the  lees  arising  from  the  inspection  and  analysis  of  fer- 
tilizers, and  so  much  as  is  necessary  is  made  immediately  available 
That  the  proceeds  arising  from  the  fees  of  this  office  be  turned  into 
the  treasury  for  the  use  of  the  common  school  fund  of  the  State.
