On November 18, 1940, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
South Carolina filed a libel against 38 cases, each containing 24 No. 2 cans, of 
field peas with snaps at Columbia, S. C., alleging that the article had been shipped 
on or about October 3, 1940, by R. O. Kelley Cannery from Mitchell, Ga.; 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: "Kelley's Best * * * Georgia 
Field Peas with Snaps."      . 
On June 19,1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
