The record, which imports verity, shows that no exception was taken by the plaintiff to the reference. The right to a jury trial was waived. Driller Co. v. Worth, 117 N. C., p. 515; Baker v. Edwards, 176 N. C., 229; Jenkins v. Parker, 192 N. C., 188; Burroughs v. Umstead, ante, 842.\n\u201cIt is the accepted position with us that the findings of fact by a referee, concurred in by the judge, are conclusive when there is competent evidence to sustain them.\u201d Comrs. v. Abee Bros., 175 N. C., 701; Hardy v. Thornton, 192 N. C., p. 296; Cotton Mills v. Cotton Yarn Co., ibid., p. 713.\nUpon a careful perusal of the record, there was competent evidence to sustain the findings of fact by the referee. The court below, in its judgment, set forth that exceptions of plaintiff were overruled, and \u201chereby confirms and adopts the findings of fact and conclusions of law. set forth in said report of the referee as fully and in the same manner as if herein recited.\u201d\nFor the reasons given, the judgment of the court below is\nAffirmed.",
