The North Carolina Supreme Court held that the three-year statute of limita tions did not apply in this case. Where material facts are accessible to the seller only, and he knows them not to be within the reach of the diligent attention, observa tion and judgment of the purchaser, the seller is bound to discuss such facts, and make them known to the purchaser, the court ruled. It was fraudulent in this case for the seller to fail to inform the purchaser that his house had been built on filled-in land. The doctrine of ("Let the buyer beware") does not apply where there is fraud. The purchaser in this case had two remedies: ne couia have rescinded the contract and gotten back what he paid or he could have kept the house and lot and sued for damages. Mrs. T.B.
