A HORRIBLE CRIME COMMITTED.
Archie Lipscomb Instantly Kills Casweli
Merritt in the Home of the Latter.
One of the most terrible homicides
ever committed In Granville county
occurred near Knap of Reeds In the
Umstead neighborhood on last Fri
day, when Archie Lipscomb shot and
Instantly killed Caswell Merritt In
Merritt's own home. The facts, so
far as we can learn them, are as fol
lows;: Merritt. liven in Granville coun
ty, just about twenty-five yards
from the Durham county line; Lips
comb lives just across the line in Dur
ham county on an adjoining planta
tion. Lipscomb frequently ylslted
Merritt, as they have been apparent
ly, up to the time of the shooting, on
friendly terms. On last Friday night
he went to Merritt's house carrying
his shotgun with him and sitting it
outside the house near the door. He
went in and began to talk to Merritt
and soon they began to argue relig
ion, and, it seemed that Merritt was
getting the better of the argument,
when Lipscomb became so enraged
that he went to the door, got his
gun and emptied the whole load into
Merritt's head, killing him instantly.
Merritt was sitting near a table on
which was a small lamp. After the
shot was fired the effect was so fatal
that he remained in his chair with
hands in the same position and his
legs crossed. The jar of the gunshot
threw the lamp chimney from the
lamp over on his arm. Merritt's wife
was in the house at the time of the
killing. It is reported in the neigh
borhood that Lipscomb regarded
Merritt as a wizard and thought
that his superior power in argument
was because he had "conjured" him
It is a dreadful affair and the neigh
borhood is very much incensed at
this seemingly cold blooded murder.
Some time ago the t wo men had
a difficulty over an account. Later,
about two weeks ago, Merritt went
to Llpscombe's wife and told her
that he had "drove up a nail for her"
and . that she would not live three
weeks. She believed him and worried
herself sick. This brought Lipscombe
to the point of desperation and the
murder followed.
After the shooting Lipscombe then
went to his home and early next
morning dressed himself and waited
for the officers to come from Oxford
to get him. He went with them will
ingly and is now in jail.
Coroner Wheeler met with trouble
when he went to hold the Inquest on
Sunday: The friends of the dead
man, not knowing it would be nec
essary to have the body, had burled
him on Saturday, which necessitated
Mr. Wheeler's having the body taken
up for the Inquest, which he prompt
ly proceeded to do. Coroner Wheeler
is a most capable officer and never
does things by halves.
Below we give the report of the
coroner's jury, which appears to be
full and quite strong on the legal as
pect of the case:
North Carolina Granville County.
Re it remembered, that on the 24th
day of January, 1904, I, Samuel
Wheeler, Coroner of said county, at
tended by a jury of good and lawful
men, viz.: E. B. Cozarfc, It. C. Cash,
John B. Fowler, VV. T. Roberts, D
T. Lunsford and Wm. H. Washing
ton by me summoned for the pur
pose, according to law, and after
being by me duly sworn and empan
eled, at the premises of Eugene D.
Umstead, In Dutchville township,
Granvlllecounty. did hold an Inquest
over the dead body of Caswell Mer
ritt; and after inquiring into the
facts and circumstances of the death
of the deceased, from a view of the
corpse and from all testimony to be
procured, the jury find as follows,
to-wit: We find that Caswell Merritt
came to his death by a gunshot
from the hands of Arch Lipscomb,
colored, from Durham county, and
Hying on adjoining plantation, and
! after thorough investigation find
that said murder was premeditated
on the part of said Lipscomb, and a
very unjustifiable act, and we give
our verdict as willful murder in the
first degree. E. B. COZART,
Foreman.

their line as you will find Mr. Cren
shaw ready and willing to supply
your wants. He Is a reliable, straight
forward business man and will treat
you right.
At the Head of the Procession.
To our friends and patrons:
In the beginning we wish to thank
you for the very liberal patronage
you have given us since launching
out in business here two years ago.
We have met with wonderful suc
cess, our sales the first year exceed
ing those of any concern in Oxford,
and notwithstanding the fact that
the year 1903 was to many a disap
pointment we increased our sales
over fifteen thousand dollars. We
have u&ed our best efforts to render
the best possible service to the trad
ing public. Our force of assistants
are men of character on whom you
can rely for fair and honorable deal
ings. In beginning the new year we look
forward to what appears to us the
brightest outlook for the planter we
have ever seen. It looks now as if
the tiller of the soil is at last to be
rewarded for his labor. The combi
nations and trusts oi the land eeem
to have seen their best days and the
man who labors daily and who is in
reality the backbone and foundation
of the country's welfare is to share
in Its prosperity. We rejoice with
you at the bright future in the com
ing crop. You know the conditions
winch have brought about high
priced cotton perhaps as well as we,
which is due largely to the increase
in the consumption of cotton goods.
Only a few years ago nine million
bales was more than enough to sup
ply the demand, but today even
t welve million bales would be con
sumed at reasonable prices. Tide
with the boll weevil which proves
more disastrous each year in Texas
and the Gulf States and the lack of
laborers to make and harvest the
crop, will make King Cotton a very
valuable product for years to come.
The high prices for cotton will cause
a decrease in the acreage planted in
tobacco, so you can reasonably ex
pect a good price for tobacco also.
We will erect here during the sum
mer a modern cotton gin and expect
to pay the highest price for seed and
lint cotton. We have a thousand
bushels of improved cotton seed
which we will sell at reasonable
prices. Plant ten acres in cotton
you will not regret so doing. To
you and others who have made it
possible for us to accomplish so much
in the past two years we are indeed
grateful. We want to do the largest
business this year we have ever done.
We haye the stock, the best of help
and accommodations, but above all
we have the cash to do almost an
unlimited amount of business. Buy
ing for three large firms in large
quantities gives ua a decided advant
age over any and all competition.
We will carry a full line of general
merchandise as la the past and will
occupy the same stores, storage
houses and stables. We will handle
stock this spring In large quantities
and will buy only young sound
horses and mules. In fact we are in
a position to supply yourevery want
and at the lowest price -always
High grade buggies, wagons and
harness a specialty.
Again thanking you for your liber
al patronage and wishing you the
greatest success during the year 1!)04,
we are, Yours to command,
