GROWING RICH.
Great Gains Made in the Output of
Farms, Mines and Mills.
The Birmingham, Ala., AJvan c e
published In a recent Issue an article
on the growth of the South, by Mr.
Samuel Spencer, President of* the
Southern Railway.
Among other facts, Mr. Spencer
shows that the South's farmers pro
duced two billion dollars woth of
products last year as aplnst half a
3B
billion in 1S80.
Continuing, Mr.
Spencer says:

That Throws Some Light Upon
Question That is of Much Import,
ance to air Classes of People.—A
Case That was Decided.
It
Day laborers and their employes,
as well as attorneys at large, will be
greatly Interested In a decision which
has just been rendered by the su
preme court of Georgia and which
defines in a clearer and broader
light than ever before the duties of
an employer with reference to the
laws on the garnishment of wages.
In substance, the decision holds
that if an employer who Is garnish
eed for a laborer's wages which mi'
der the law’ are exempt, falls to set
up this fact of exemption In his an
swer and pays the wages into court,
employer will be liable in a suit
the laborer tor the recovery of
wages.
[The specific case on which the Je-
clshn referred to Is based is that of
the Southern Railway Co., plaintiff
In error vs. J. T. Fulford, defendant
In error, the Issue having been ap
pealed from the city court of Macon.
The statement of the case as here
presented Is taken from the Macon
News:
Originally J. T. FulforJ had been
sued in a Justice of the peace court
at Macon for the sum of $50. At
the same time the Southern Railway
Co., had In Its possession $40.35 In
wages which Fulford hai earned as
a switchman In the employ of the
railroad. For this sum Fulford’s al*
leged creditors issued against the
Southern Railway Co., a summons
of garnishment. In filing Its answer
the railway company admitted that
it owed Fulford the amount named
but did not set up the fact that these
wages w'ere exempt; and subsequent
ly, moreover, paid the amount into
court. This sum was applied In pay*
ing the cost of the court five dollars
of which had been Incurred by the
railway company In answering the
garnishment summons, and the re
mainder turned over to the plaintiff’s
creditors.
Just at this point begins the sig
nificance of the supreme court’s de
cision. For shortly afterward J. T.
Fulford Instituted In the city court a
suit against the railroad company
for the recovery of his $49.35 wage*.
At that time the railroad contended
that It had already paid out these
wages to satisfy a claim In the Jus
tice court and that since Fulford
had not appeared at the hearing
there to claim the protection of the
garnishment law, the railroad com
pany had been justified and was
not liable for recovery.
Attorney R. Douglass Feagln,
however, who represented Fulford,
demurred that this was no answer
in law, and his demurrer be'ng sus
tained by the city court a Judgment
against the railroad company for
$49.35 was rendered.
The railway company in.media*oly
appealed to the supreme court of
Georgia, but the Judgment of the low
er cour xia sustained an l Fulford
will now recover his wages.

Well Known Traveling Man Tells
What He Saw Col. Dillingham do.
"I was in Detroit a few months
ago and was an eye-witness to one
of the most novel sights It has ever
been my lot to see. It was the pa
rade of Col. Dillingham, which took
place on the principal streets of that
city, and the spectacle of a man, ap
parently In his right senses, throw
ing money Into the streets, followed
by a shouting, how-ling mob of small
boys, fighting and scrambling, some*
times under tne very feet of the
horses that drew his carriage, was
worth going miles to see. This was
the first glimpse I had of the world-
famous Col. Dillingham and his
unique methods of advertising. For (
block after bldck along the entire j
route of his parade, which was sev- j
eral miles In length he tossed hands .
full of silver money from his carriag* l
and I was told that over six hundred
dollars was cast to the winds by the
advertiser in this fashion during that j
one parade. That amount would cer*
tainly make a great many youngsters
happy for a few days, as some of the
boys followed from the time the pa
rade startei until it closed, and In
this way managed to secure four or
five dollars each. If Dillinguam in
tends to get rid of money in each
town he visits at the same rate he
did during that parade, he will cer
tainly need the mines of Africa at
his command.
"I also saw In this parade the cel
ebrated ani much-talked-of electric
band wagon, supposed to be the only
thing of Its kind ever built. It Is In
deed a very handsome and novel ve*
hide, a triumph of the wagon-build
er’s art. I heard while there that
Col. Dillingham Is quite an enthusi
ast In regard to automobiles and
other electrical machines, and that
this wagon was built from his own
.leslgn. In traveling about I have
often heard of this man, but this
was the only time I ever had the
pleasure of seeing him.”
