term of the County Court was opened
here on last Monday. After some pre-
liminary work court adjourned TO give
Judge Bolen an opportunity TO address
the people of the county on the SUBJECT
of the New Constitution The judge
made able speech in defense of that
document. He dwelt principally upon
its economical features, showing what a
great saving it will be to the people over
the present system. The. judge did not
claim that the Constitution was all THAI
might be desired, but thought it the
best that could be done under existing
circumstances.
Before closing he very empllatically de-
clared himself in favor of submitting 1t
to the people for their approval or dis
approval.
After Judge Bolen closed the court took
up the case of the Commonwealth against
Floyd Truman, for the killing, of JOHN
Phillips on last Christmas Day. THIS
was not exactly a celebrated case, though
the public took great interest in the trial.
Walter S. Upton assisted the Common
wealths Attorney in the prosecution, and
Joe Wiser, of Newbern; Brown Howard.

self-deftnse. The case was given to the
Jury at IL o'clock to-day, and about 2
o'clock they brought in a verdict of guilty
as charged in the indictment and fixed
his punishment at two years confinement
