Arkansas Meets Mississippi.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Nov. 15.— If Ar
kansas defeats Mississippi Uni
versity this afternoon, the Ra
zorbacks will know they have
been up against a team. Missis
sippi arrived in Little Rock, 24
players and several coaches
strong, Friday afternoon, and
practiced a portion of the time
during the Little Rock-Pine
Bluff game. It was not the same
team that lined up against Hen
drix College a week ago. There
were five new players, two
ends, a quarter, a halfback and
a tackle. All are husky players,
and are built on speed lines, in
which department the Razor
backs are supposed to be the
strongest.
Arkansas arrived this morning
and practiced for awhile at the
park. All the players are in
good condition, with the possi
ble exception of Rudd and May,
but there was nothing in their
movements this morning to in
dicate there was anything wrong
wfith them.
Mississippi has trained for the
Arkansas style of play, and
should be able to hold the score
under 20 points, if the cotton
pickers do not nose out a victory.
Augusta Girls Victors.
Augusta, Nov. 14.—The Au
gusta girls’ basket ball team won
from Newport here today by
the score of 30 to 7. The play
ing of the home team was fast,
and the visitors at no stage of
the contest had a chance to win.
■ Muss Zuber was the star for Au
gusta, throwing goals from dif
ficult angles and long distances.

The Cheney Concert Com
pany, which appeared at the
Becker & Lewis opera house in
this city on Monday night, was
one of the cleverest and most
! thoroughly accomplished organi
zations that has ever visited
Forrest City. All the musical
numbers bore the stamp of high
artistic merit, and the readings
of Miss Helen Hanner were es
pecially delightful and enter
taining. The only regrettable
feature of the evening’s enter

j small attendance, whereas the
excellence of the program should
have attracted a packed house.

LITTLE ROCK
DEFEATS BLUFF
Wins From Pine Bluff
Capitol City High School Team
High.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Nov. 15.— The
Little Rock high school defeat
ed the football warriors from
the Pine Bluff school in a close
and exciting game, by a score
of 6 to 0, Friday afternoon at
West End Park. It was rather
hard luck to the Pine Bluff
team that it went down to de
feat, for during the first three
quarters, and all of the time
but the brief period in which
Little Rock won, the visiting e
leven had the best of the argu
ment. Most of the game was
played in Little Rock territory,
and but for an incompleted for
ward pass, Pine Bluff would
have been the winner. In the
f L i M/-1 TO 1. . £0
vjuwi a juv/ jjiuu tai ~ j
ried the ball on long forward
passes to the Littel Rock five j
yard line, and then tried for a j
goal with a pass, but Little
Rock blocked and took the ball.
At the start of the game Pine
Bluff showed supremacy, but
continually tried the strong Lit
tle Rock line, or the end runs.
Several times the forward pass
was resorted to, and the ball
was passed cleanly to the Pine
Bluff forward, who fumbled.
The player was in the clear, and
had the pass been successful,
Pine Bluff would have scored,
not once, but several times.
In the last quarter Little Rock
flashed for about five minutes,
but in that short time it took the
ball through the Pine Bluff line
jto the twenty yard line, where
a short forward pass tore off
another ten yards. Pine Bluff
expected another forward pass
or a straight line plunge, but
Harris skirted the left end for
a wide circlfe which ended with
the ball behind the Pine Bluff
goal. Martin failed to kick
goal.
With seven minutes still to
play, Pine Bluff returned to the
forward pass, but this time luck
was all against them. It can
not all be counted as luck either
for the Little Rock players were
always alert and intercepted
most of the passes Pine Bluff
attempted. O’Neill, Little Rock
long passes. Little Rock played
safe, with the ball in its posses
sion, preventing Pine Bluff an
other chance at the goal.
Little Rock excelled in punt
ing, and the tackling of both
was fierce.
This game removes Pine Bluff
as a contender 1n the race for
the state championship, which
will be decided between Little
Rock and Fort Smith Thanks
giving day. Little Rock plaj s
Hot Springs next week, but
Pine Bluff has defeated this
team, and its only chance to
figure further in the champion
ship- it to defeat Little Rock. '

Little Rock, Nov. 15.—A meet
ing of the State Highway Com
mission was held Thursday for1
the purpose of closing up the con
tract for the leasing of the Weig-,

already taken possession of the
property and a force of a doz-■

up, whitewashing and renovat
ing the quarters, and preparing
it for occupancy. By the middle

Argenta to Have Saloons.
Little Rock, Nov. 14.—It was
| officially announced today that
: Argenta had succeeded in ob
taining the requisite number of
! signatures to insure saloons for
I that town in 1914. In the event
that Little Rock fails to secure
enough signatures to petitions
in eiveiilntion here a neculiar
situation will follow. Argenta.
which is situated on the other
side of the river and connected
by three bridges, one of which
is the free bridge, would have
saloons, which means that the
thirsty inhabitants of Little
Rock would . have but a short
distance to travel in order to get
all the liquor they desire. Prom
inent business men maintain
that this would place Little
Rock at a great disadvantage
and result in doing much harm
in a number of ways.

Batesville, Nov. 14.—As a re
sult of a conference held here
Wednesday night between Judge
George T. Humphries of Fulton
county and Judge Emmett Jef
fery, it was announced that

HOLDS COUNTY
NOT LIABLE
Where No Provision Is Made For
Expenses of Punishing Vio
lations of Statutes.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Nov. 15.—Attor
ney General Moose has decided
that where the state is obligat
ed to provide the means whereby
a county can enforce a statutory
requirement, and does not meet
that obligation, the county can
not be held responsible for non
compliance with the law.
The question arose over the
enforcement of an act of the leg
islature of Did requiring county
clerk to provide standards of
weights and measures. In a let
ter to County Clerk Herbert S.
Turner of Pulaski county, con
struing the act making a misde
meanor failure to provide such
weights and measures, at the
expense of the county, he says:
“Inasmuch as the law requir- ■
ing the several county clerks to j
procure a set of weights and
measures that will conform to 1
the standard as fixed by the
weights and measures in the of
fice of the Secretary of State; I
and inasmuch as no such stand-1
ard is in existence it would seem 1
impossible for the clerks to1
comply with the requirements of j
the law. If the several clerks i
should buy weights and meas
ures there would be no method
whereby their accuracy could be
tested, because there would lie
no common standard and each
clerk would have weights and
measures different from the oth
ers. Under such circumstances
I would advise you to purchase
no weights or measures until
the state has purchased other
standards.”
The government has advised
Secretary Hodges that the U
nited States is no longer fur
nishing standards to the states.
It appears that the state was
furnished with a full set of
standards some time before the
war, but there is no record of
what became of them.

Rube Waddell Very 111.
Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 14.—•
In spite of his belief of a week
ago that he was suffering only;
from a slight attack of bronchi
tis, Rube Waddell, well known
as a baseball pitcher, left Minne

with tuberculosis at his sister’s
home in San Antonio, Texas. A!
short time ago a story was cur
rent that he had fallen a - vic
tim to the white plague, but lie
scoffed the idea and said he was
suffering from a severe cold.
Since then he has been grow
ing steadily weaker and has
been in bed for several days at
his home here. His physicians
said tonight fhat Waddell’s
chances for recovery are slight.
