The Court being evenly divided in opinion, Adams, J., not sitting, the judgment of the Superior Court is affirmed and stands as the decision in this particular case, without becoming a precedent for the future. Lawrence v. Bank, 193 N. C., 841, 137 S. E., 427; Miller v. Bank, 176 N. C., 152, 96 S. E., 977; Durham v. R. R., 113 N. C., 240, 18 S. E., 208.

This accords with the uniform practice of appellate courts in cases of equal division of opinion. Jenkins v. Lumber Co., 187 N. C., 864, 123 S. E., 82.

Affirmed.
