Affirmed on authority of Chancey v. Powell, 103 N. C., 159, 9 S. E., 298. “In the statute of limitations, there is an express exception in favor of the rights of those who may be infants, etc., at the time the right accrues, but if, at that time, there is no disability, although the right may, on the next day, pass to an infant, etc., it is not within the proviso, so that it has grown into a legal adage, ‘When the statute begins to run it continues to run.’ ” Mebane v. Patrick, 46 N. C., 23.

Affirmed.
