Saturday night a colored man from Bertie County came up the river hill on the wrong side, or got on the wrong side after he got up, and drove head-on into a Ford couple belonging to Charlie James, which was standing in front of his home. The car was badly torn up and the colored man thought he had lost his eyesight, but Mr. James took him to Dr. Saunders, who found that he only had two minor cuts on each eyelid. After the doctor had dressed the wounds, he told the darkey, who was confident he was blind, to open his eyes. Those who saw those eyes roll over when he found that he could see will never forget the sight.
