Akin v. Comer Mercantile Co.

Opinion of the Court

Atkinson, J.

Under tlie provisions of Civil Code §§ 3349, 3350, a mortgage given to secure the purchase-price of supplies furnished to aid in making a crop of a given year is superior to the lien thereon of an older common-law judgment, though the mortgage was executed after such supplies were furnished, and subsequently to the levy of the execution issued upon such common-law judgment. Franklin v. Callaway, 120 Ga. 382 (47 S. E. 970).

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur.
