W.H. Holland, cashier of the Albemarle Bank, was painfully hurt Sunday afternoon when, while walking on the Hertford highway, he was struck by a car driven by Joe Peele, near the Mt. Hermon road. The car driven by Peele was going in the direction of Hertford and hit Holland in the back about the waist line just after Peele had avoided one car passing another coming toward town. Holland’s head was also bruised on the left side when he fell to the pavement. The negro was rushed to his home, 20 Speed street. Dr. Walker, who was summoned, found that no bones were broken and did not discover any symptoms of internal injury.
