Craig v. Southern Railway Co.

Opinion of the Court

PER CüRiam.

This appeal, as the parties have stipulated, presents: one question: Did the deed from Oliver W. Davis convey the fee to Atlanta & Richmond Airline Railway Company or merely an easement for railway purposes? The answer is found in the opinion in McCotter v. Barnes, 247 N.C. 480, 101 S.E. 2d 330, which fully discusses all the problems involved here. The Davis deed conveyed a fee simple to the grantee.

The judgment below is

Affirmed.
