P , V; lllf - b ac interest. ways nov 5 3t-eod Yesterday, the 4th inst, Henry Lov- ett, colored, paid the extreme penalty of the law at Whiteville, Columbus county, for the murder of Archilaus P. Williams, who was also colored. The crime was committed at Williamson's X Roads, is Tatum's township, in the above named eounty, on the 19th day of July. 1880. The parties had always been upon the most friendly ttrms, bat upon the day of the murder there had been a slight misunderstanding between them,, both being partially intoxicated. The diffi culty, however, ;had been settled, and Lovett went to Williams and, patting his arm around the neck of the latter, said, "There is no trouble, Ard,' (a name by which Williams was sometimes known) between us"; and the two walked off a few steps together in seeming friendship, when a blew was beard by the bystanders and Williams exclaimed, "I'm a dead man, without cause," and at the same time Lovett was seen to draw his knife from the neck of his victim. The assassin made no effort to escape, and was immediately arrested by some of the people present while others has tened to the assistance of the wounded man. -They found him with his throat and windpipe cut and the jugular vein nearly severed. Medical skill was prompt ly in attepdance, but the man lived only about twenty-four hours alter receiving the fatal wounds. The murdered man was about;fifty-five years of age, and left a wife and several children. He was, generally, a peacable, quiet man, but sometimes, especially when he had become intoxicated, was inclined to be turbulent. On this occa sion, although drinking freely, he was very quiet. Lovett was held ta await the finding of the jury of inquest, and tha being in accordance with the foregoing facts, he was committed to tho coonty'jail to await the action of the grand iuryjn the matter: At the Fall term of the Superior Court of Ixtmbus county, the grand jury found a "true i bill" .jrainat Lovett, and he was arraign- 1 for trial. Messrs. W. L. Norment, of Robeson, and O. C. Lyon, of Bladen, were assigned by the Court as counsel to defend the prisoner, and upon afflda vitmade that the defense was not pre pared for trial, the case. was continued to the Spring Term of 1881. At the Spring Term of 1881 the defendant asked fnr m. atill farther ccntmuance to enable him to secure Jhe attendanct Mnptr teat witers, 134 aT w NOVEMBER 5, 1881.

At the Fall Term, which con vened at Whiteville on the 19th of Sep tember, 1831, His Honor, Jndge Jesse F. Graves, presiding, Lovett was brought to trial, and after a fair and impartial hearing, an able defense by his counsel and an exhaustive charge, both of the law and testimony in the case, a verdict of "guilty of murder in the first degree was rendered by the jury. A motion was made for a new trial upon the ground that no malice was shown npon the part of the prisoner, but His Honor overruled the motion and upon the reqaest of the Solicitor for the State, J. D. M elver, Esq., proceeded .to pass sentence, which was, "That the prisoner be taken back Irom whence he came and there confined until the 4th day of Noyember, 1881, and that he then, between the hours of 10 o'clock A. M. and 4 o'clock P. M., be taken thence by the Sheriff of Columbus county to the place of common execution and there hanged by the neck until he be dead." The prisoner received his sen tence with a perfectly stolid indifference, and without .any apparent remorse for his fearful crime or regard for the awful fate which awaited him. In this state ot mind he has remained until within the last few days, when-he .professed to be come convicted ot sin' and was converted. He, however, to the last maintained that he had no knowledge oc realization of the crime for which he has just paid the penalty. He was visited du ring his incarceration by the Rev. J. W. Dickson, of the Baptist Church, who ' offered him spiritual advice and consola tion,and he has also been visited by two colored clergymen of the same denomina tion and for the same pirpose. One of the latter. Rev. B. Gore, stated to the reporter that Lovett expressed himself as willing and prepared to go. Lovett was about twenty-four years of age, fall black, small statare, and his status, as a colored man, was considera bly below the average of intelligence among those people. He was never married, his father is dead, but his moth, er, three sisters and one brother are now living near Kins ton, Lenoir cosnty, in this State. 1 At an early hour the streets of the quiet and lovely town of Whiteville be gan to be thronged with people from the surrounding conn toy who were incited there to witness tho awful bat nncsaal spectacle of a public execution.

After prayer and singing, be bade good bye to those in attendance and hoped tbalhe should meet tbem all in heaven. The Sheriff i hen adjusted the cap and rope and at precisely 12 o'clock and 10 minutes, P. M , the drop fell und Henry Lovett was lasncb d into eternity.
