The opinion
Hoke, J.,
dissenting: Whatever might be my opinion if it were an open question, I think the disposition made of the present appeal is contrary to every decision of the Court construing the statute regulating the contracts of married women since same was enacted by the Legislature of 1871-72, chapter 119, beginning with Pippen v. Wesson, 74 N. C., 437 . The question as to subsequent transactions having ceased to be of importance by reason of the Martin act, chapter 109, Public Laws 1911, it would serve no good purpose to make extensive reference to the cases or the reasons upon which they were made to rest. I therefore enter my dissent without further comment.
