We publish the following particu

: The funeral of the lateAdolphus
Moore toook place last Saturday in
the town of Graham, at 11:30 a. m.,
from the Presbyterian Church. The
business houses were closed, and a
crowded church awaited the com
ing of the dead body. A line of
carriages and buggies weres follow
ed by men, wymen and children on
foot, and walking through the rain,
made up the procession as it enter
ed Graham, having cornea distance
of two miles from Haw River. Rev.
Mr. Curry preached the funeral ser
mon, ihe magistrate court ad
journed for the funeral, and at the
time the proceionpassed.thepriso
ner, Mr. Geo. W. Swepson. was in
his room with thesherifTat Citno's
hotel.

he lay on the ground. lie was flat
on his back about fifteen steps from
the yard fence, hla gun a few feet
off, and the first words he said to
Albright, were, I am a dead man ;
he .shot me cowardly." He then
asKed Albright to put something
uuder hi head, and go for Col. Holt
and a doctor. Mr. Albright put
hi coat under his head. When his
friends reached him he told them
lie Wrt paralyzed, and couldn't
move his body, except his hand.
and when it was sucveated to turn
him over, he remarked, "If you do,
I'm a dead man." Jso one was seen
in Swepson' house, and Mr. S. did
not make his appearance at all.
Tho factory hands of Holt t Moore
crowded to the snot and as they
stood around, Mr. Moore requested
them to kneel and pray for him.
They all knelt and prayed, and Mr.
Moore accompanied them with a
prayer which is raid to have been
fiie most impressive ever uttered.

TUE EVIDENCE.
Mr. Moore's witnesses have all
been examined. His first witness
was the boy, Sam. Oliver, whose

then Swepson shot and Moore fell
and I ran.
CROS EXAMINED.
I live in Moore's family, and all
Yny family live in Moore t Holt's
factory houses. Have known Mr.
Moore seven or eight years and
liked him very well. Have hunted
with him often, but never before
this time when he carried two guns.
He sent Sam Oliver after the second
gun. When Sam brought the gun
he loaded both barrels with big snot
he got in the store, Mr. Albright
gave them to him. Mr. M. said to
Mr.' Albright,-' 4Bring me soriw big
shot, the biggest you've got," he
didn't say what for, we might meet
up with some wild turkeys or some
thing. The guns were exhibited In court
and the charges drawn ; they were
small sized bird shot. . t
Mr. Moore said at the store. "I
ain't firolnff to hurt anybody." He
commenced hollering and cursing
agaio - when , wo got within 100 or
500 yarns 01 awepson s nouse.
He said

out of one ear. Saw Hill, me ne
gro, a second ,time asiwe passed,
didn't hear him,, Kay anything.
Sam. Oliver wa3 closest to Hill.
Mr. Moore passed Swenson's house
the second time and when he got
down to the corner of the yard he
stopped close to the yard paling
and turned around with his face to
the house and said something, don't
know what it was: I then saw
Rwenson standing in the back door.
Heard Swepson speak first. He
said : 44 Are vou ready ?" Moore
said 44 yes." Swepson had a rifle
In his hand, a short gun, don't re
collect which hatiu, and aon't re
collect whether he was aiming or
pointing. Moore had his gun In
the crack of Swepson's fence point
ing up towards Swepson. Don't
know whether it was cocked or not.
Moore had the gun at his shoulder
anc to Rnn through the crack of
the fence. Swepson shot right
straight and then shot again. He
was in the door when he first, shot,
and fired quick after the first. . He
got behind the door the second
time. (Swepson fired the second
shot from the window-east of the
door. Reporter.) Moore took
his gun down after Swepson's first
shot, and when he was shot he gave
his gun a sling. Didn't sfe Mr.
Moore drink any that day. I smelt
liquor on him. He was not drunk
or tight, could walk as straight as I
could. Sam Oliver had been drink
ing, I smelled the liquor on him.
Mr. Moore didn't seem to be mad.
He was singing and laughing.
McCullock Whitsell and A. T.
Benton next testified. The cist of
their evidence was they had often
seen Mr. Moore take two guns with
him in hunting. Mr Benton had
thought of going hunting with Mr.
Moore that day, Mr. Moore had
asked him ; but Col. Jere Holt
came . to see Mr. Moore that evening
and they were busy talking: over
the business of the factory, and it
was so late he concluded Mr. Moore
had given out the hunt.
C. P. Albright said he was clerk
for Holt and Moore, had been for
three years. Mr. Moore came to
the store about three o'clock that
evening with a double barrel shot
gun and two dogs. McCullock
Whitsell brought him another gun.
Mr. Moore staid in the store ten
minutes : went out and was stand
ing northeast of the store. He ask
ed him to bring him the largest
shot he had. He took him no 4 or
large bird shot; wasn't positive,
but didn't think Mr. Moore was
cursing; he was talking and people
in the store went out to hear him
talk. He was speaking of G. W.
Swepson. After loading the gun
Moore moved off in the direction of
Swepson's house and said, I'm
going bird hunting." Witness
stood in the door and watched
Moore till he passed over the hill
out of sight. Witness knew Swep
son was at home, knew Moore and
he were enemies, did not know
what might occur it they should
meei.
DYING
DECLARATION
OF MR.
MOORE.
Br. 13. F. Mebane was with Mr.
Moore till he died. He was satis
fied from the first the wound was
mortal. The bullet went through
Mr. Moore's left arm into Ins chest
through the spinal
column and
through both lungs.
Dr. lebane asked Mr. Moore how
the thina: happened ?
Mr. Moore replied : " I had been
out birdintr that evenincr and com-
ingby Mr.owepson7s, I said : 'There
is the man now buti passed. on
by Swepson's house, when I heard
Bwepson say, 44 what do you want ?"
I turned and replied : 44 Come out
into the road and I'll tell you what
I want : I do not intend to shoot
at you in your own house or yard."
At that Swepson fired. I repeated
between Swepson first and second
shot :'-44 1 do not want to shoot you
in your own house, but come out
into the road and 1 will shoot with
Vou or fight you." T was looking
towards the factory and at' the
fame time, watching Swepson, and
.when 1 he fired :the second time I
fn. I did not present my, gun to-
wards him., 1 migni jiave naa my
arm a little up but I do not think I
did" To the question asked by
wards him". 1 might jiave had my
his counsel. 44 Did you intend to
draw out Swepson and shoot him
.when you were, hunting in. tne
field around his house?" Mr.
Moore replied : 44 1 had no idea" of
shooting him." This declaration
few hours before he died.
REMARKS.
This report has been made with
prejudice to none and best wishes
for all. From the hurried visit to
the place It was impossible to get
at the pulee of popular opinion. Mr.
Swepson's friends believe he will
be proven justifiable in. the killing.
Mr. Moore's friends say nothing
short of convincing proof that Mr.
Swepson apprehended death at the
hands of Mr. .Moore at the time,
will justify him, and they do not
think this can be showTn. The ex
amination of
MR. SWEPSOX'S WITNESSES
began yesterday morning. Mrs.
Martha Fonvill was examined, and
testified that the day of the tragedy
she was at Holt & Moore's store,
and heard someone say, she thinks

him." She also stated Mr. Albright.

'A magnificent conception wnderful3y
Carried out."
The necessity of a popular medium
for the representation of the produc
tions of our great artists, has always
been recognized, and many attempts
have been made to meet the want. The
successive failures which so invariably
followed each attempt in this country
to establish an art journal, did Dot prove
the indifference of the people of mer
ica to the claims of high art. 80 soon
as a proper appreciation of the want and
an ability to meet it were shown, the
public at once rallied with enthusiasm
to its support, and the result was a
great artistic and commercial triumph
The Aldisk.
thealdisb, while issued with
all
the regularity, has none of the tempo-
rary rTiaiELT interest characteristic of
ordinary periodicals. It is an elegant
miscenanyoi pure, iifrnt, and graceful
literal ufe; and a collection of pictures,
the rarest specimens of artistic skill, in
black and white. Although each suc
ceeding number affords a fresh pleas
ure to its friends, the real value and
beauty of The Aldine will be most
appreciated after it i bound up at the
close of the year. While other publica
tions may claim superior cheapness, as
compared with rivals of a similar class,
The Aldine is a unique and original
conception alone and unapproached
absolutely without competition in price

The national feature of The Aldine
must be taken in no narrow sense.
True art is cosmopoliten. While The
Aldine is a strictly American institu
tion, it does not conhne itself entirely
to the reproduction of cative art. Its
mission in to cultivate a broad and an-
preciative art taste, one ttiat will dis
criminate only on grounds of intrinsic
merit. Thus, while placing before the
patrons of The Aldine, as a leading
characteristic, the productions of the
most noted American artists, attention
will always be given to specimens
from foreign masters, givingsubscribers
all the pleasure aud instruction obtain
able from home or foreign sources.
The artistic illustration of American
cenery, original with The Aldine, is
an important feature, and its magnifi
cent plates are of a size more appropri
ate to the satisfactory treatment of
details than can be afforded by iuy in
ferior page. The j udicous interspersiou
of landscape, marine, figure, and ani
mal subjects, sustain an unabated inter
est, impossible where the scope of the
work confines the artist tco closely to a
single style of subject. The literature
of The Aldin is a light and KreUul
accompamment, worthy of the artistic
features, with only such technical dis
quisitions as do not interfere n ith the
popular interest of the work.
