Dick, 169 N. C., 244, 85 S. E., 2. This falls short of the requirements of Rule 19, sec. 3, of the Rules of Practice in the Supreme Court, 200 N. C., 824; Rawls v. Lupton, 193 N. C., 428, 137 S. E., 175. Only exceptive assignments of error are considered on appeal. Dixon v. Osborne, 201 N. C., 489; Sanders v. Sanders, 201 N. C., 350, 160 S. E., 289; S. v. Freeze, 170 N. C., 710, 86 S. E., 1000. The Constitution, Art. IY, sec. 8, empowers the Supreme Court \u201cto review on appeal any decision of the courts below, upon any matter of law or legal inference\u201d; and this is to be presented in .accordance with the mandatory rules of the Supreme Court. Calvert v. Carstarphen, 133 N. C., 25, 45 S. E., 353. The Court has not only found it necessary to adopt rules of practice, but equally necessary to enforce them and to enforce them uniformly. Pruitt v. Wood, 199 N. C., 788, 156 S. E., 126; Byrd v. Southerland, 186 N. C., 384, 119 S. E., 2.\nFurthermore, \u201cexceptions in the record not set out in appellant\u2019s brief, or in support of which no reason or argument is stated or authority cited, will be taken as abandoned.\u201d Rule 28; Gray v. Cartwright, 174 N. C., 49, 93 S. E., 432. The relation between appellants\u2019 brief and the record is discernible only after a voyage of discovery. Sturtevant v. Cotton Mills, 171 N. C., 119, 87 S. E., 992. For this, we are furnished no guides. Cecil v. Lumber Co., 197 N. C., 81, 147 S. E., 735. The brief is without citation of authorities. Porter v. Lumber Co., 164 N. C., 396, 80 S. E., 443. The appeal seems to be an adventure in postulation.\nThe judgment is supported by the verdict, hence the motion to affirm will be allowed. Wheeler v. Cole, 164 N. C., 378, 80 S. E., 241; Wallace v. Salisbury, 147 N. C., 58, 60 S. E., 713.\nAffirmed.",
