Appeal from Superior Court, Buncombe County; MacRae, Special Judge.
Action by the Atlas Supply Company, Inc., against F. L. McCurry and others. From an adverse judgment, the plaintiff appeals.
No error.
This is a civil action brought by the plaintiff to enforce a lien against the lands of the defendants F. L. McCurry and wife, Emma J.
