The opinion
Judge Hedrick
dissenting:
In my opinion, the appeal should be dismissed since it is from the denial of a preliminary injunction, and no substantial right of the plaintiffs’ will be lost if the appeal is not determined before a final hearing on the merits. Pruitt v. Williams, 288 N.C. 368 , 218 S.E. 2d 348 (1975).
