The petition makes the following case: Lee acquired from T. J. Reeves a ten-year lease of-a three-acre tract'of land on which was located a mill and gin, and agreed to pay $30 per month on the last day of each month during the term of the lease. The contract provided that on failure to pay. the rent promptly when due, the lessor had the right and option to declare the lease void, to cancel the same, and to take possession of the premises. T. J. Reeves by warranty deed conveyed the property to petitioners, J. Farley Reeves and Thomas F. Reeves, and assigned to petitioners all unpaid rents under the lease to Lee. Lee
The petition set out a cause of action. Even if there is an adequate remedy at law for some of the relief sought, the petition should not be dismissed if there is a cause of action, either legal or equitable, for any of the relief sought. There are allegations of facts affording ground for some equitable relief, thus furnishing jurisdiction to the court.
Judgment affirmed.
