Abe Goodwyn Hurt
Abe Goodwin, 8 years of age, was run over today in front of
the Princess theatre and badly bruised about the head and shoulders. It was
necessary to take three stitches in the back of his neck. No bones are broken.
The boy was struck by a colored driver named Perry who was
driving a car, the property of Mr. U.H. Cozart. The child had started to turn
his bicycle across the street when the automobile struck him and knocked him
down. The child is in a local hospital and is resting quietly.

Auto Accident
While on their way to Raleigh Sunday for a day’s outing, Mr.
J.L. Young driving his Briscoe, with Messrs. Bruce Shearin, Frank Shearin and
Orris Moseley had the misfortune of experiencing a turnover just this side of
the Neuse River Bridge. From what we can gather it seems that a spring broke,
dropping the car down on the steering gear, throwing the car out from under
control. The car left the road and turned completely over twice and almost a
third time.
In the accident Mr. Young received any ugly cut on his arm
and a badly bruised leg. Frank Shearin was injured in the stomach and Bruce
Shearin received a badly bruised leg, while Moseley escaped without accident.
The wounded were taken to Raleigh where they were treated at a hospital. The
car as pretty badly damaged.

Victim of Automobile in Serious Condition
The small daughter of Mr.
Charles Travis of Newton, who was run over Saturday afternoon by Mr. Wade
Gilbert, was in a serious condition last night, according to news from Newton
today, and it is doubtful if the child will recover. It is said that in recent
months Newton speed ordinances are not being observed and that the fine Main
street is being used as a race track. There is strong sentiment for enforcing
the ordinance, it is said.
