In the game with FOrdyce last Sat urday the Pine Bluff High School play ed a game that, though they lost, re- fleets great credit upon them as a team competing for the amateur championship of the state. The High School eleven were outweighed by the Fordyce team at least fifteen pounds to the man. In the new open scienti- fife game that all the larger teams have adopted, they were masters and work ed the forward pass no less than elev en times, failing in no one instance. They also worked the outside kick sev- eral times and never failed on it. Four times. after carrying the ball the length of the field and being with in fifteen yards of the ITordyce goal. the old High School hard luck inter- posed and the ball was lost on fumb- les.
 The first touchdown of the FOrdyce team was made in 22 minutes, and at the close of the first half the ball was in the possession of the High School on Fordyce's , yard line and with an other minute to play, touchdown would surely have resulted. The sec ond score was made when the Fordyce quarterback blocked a kick and with a clear field ran 8 yards for touch down; only such hard luck as the High School is noted for could possi- ! bly have caused such freak in ath-

JUDGE GOULD HOLDS
 APPROPRIATIONS LEGAL
Contends That TM0-T hirdS Maturity Was Not Necessary to Establish Free Ferries in This County.

Although it was the general opin- ion of many magistrates and others who attended the meeting of the .Iet- ferson County Levyin& Board Tues day that the motion to appropriate $2,0o0 for the operation of free fer ries at this point and Mct,adden 5 Ferry had failed to carry Judge Gould ruled that the motion was adopted and still contends that he was right in his ruling. He does not want to appear to be favoring or opposing the free ferry proposi- tion. but he holds that two-thirds majority is not required for az ap- propriation of this character I,here is no law in the statute books. he says, that tends to show that a two-thirds vote is necessary in such matter. He has asked Prosecuting Attorny W. D. .Ions for an opinion which will be given the county iudee in a few days.
 The motion for the free ferry ap- propriatiCn was voted on twice. teh second time on motion to recon sider. The first vote cast was IT to l:' It was declared lost on the be- lief that the law required two- third majority. Magistrate Richard sen moved to reconsider the vote, which carried, and a second vote re- suited in favorable ruling from Chairman Gould. The vote was IS to l2 and many members say that a majority vote of those present is all that was necessary for the adop- tion of the motion The opponents say twO-thirds vote must be cast.
