It appears from the verified pleadings in this action that there is a bona fide controversy between the parties (1) as to whether the notes executed by the plaintiffs and secured in the deed of trust containing the power of sale under which the defendants have advertised the land described therein for sale, are now due, and (2) if said notes are now due, because of default by plaintiffs in paying installments thereon, as to the amount now due on said note. For this reason, the temporary restraining order was properly continued to the hearing. Parker Co. v. Bank, 200 N. C., 441, 157 S. E., 419.

The validity of chapter 74, as amended by chapter 525, Public-Local Laws of North Carolina, 1933, is not presented by this appeal.

The judgment is affirmed without prejudice to the right of the defendants to move for the appointment of a receiver in this action, as provided by statute. C. S., 859.

Affirmed.
