Bobbitt, J.,
concurring in result: I agree that the facts shown are insufficient to constitute actionable negligence. For this reason, I concur in the result.
Decision does not require that we determine whether the plaintiff was contributorily negligent as a matter of law. If such determination were required, the issue of contributory negligence, in my opinion, would be for the jury under instructions embodying the principles set forth in the Court’s opinion. The contributory negligence issue was submitted to the *432jury in Foy v. Winston, 126 N.C. 381, 35 S.E. 609, and in Fann v. R. R., 155 N.C. 136, 71 S.E. 81.
