Nos. 2S817-E, 28818-E, 28821-E, 28822-E.)
On August 14 and 17, 1940, the United States attorney for the Eastern 
District of North Carolina filed libels against 13 bags of flour at Franklinton, 
N. C, and 28 bags of flour at Wendell, N. C, alleging that the article had been 
shipped in interstate commerce on or about June 3 and 25, 1940, by the Roanoke 
City Mills, Inc., from Roanoke, Va.; and charging that it was adulterated in 
that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy substance. The article was 
labeled in part: "Light White Superlative Patent Flour," or "Sungold Fancy 
Patent Flour."
On September 16 and October 29, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judg- 
ments of condemnation were entered and the lot seized at Franklinton was 
ordered destroyed immediately and the lot seized at Wendell, N. C, was ordered 
destroyed after 30 days unless taken down under bond by the owner. The 
latter lot was subsequently destroyed in accordance with said order.
