Walker, J.,
concurring: I concur-in the result,' as I do not think that the cases of Lumber Co. v. Smith, 150 N. C., 253, and Bateman v. Lumber Co., 154 N. C., 248, as to the right to cut during the extended period, which is given for removal of the timber only, apply to this case. If I thought so, my concurrence would be turned into a dissent, for my opinion is that those cases were not correctly decided on that point, my reasons for so saying appearing from my dissenting opinion in the Smith case. I think the proper construction has been given to the deed in question here upon other grounds, which are not affected by those .decisions, and that the final conclusion is sound.
