## Opinion text

Per Curiam.
— Judgment was rendered herein against the Board of Public Instruction for Lafayette County upon a promissory note purporting to have been executed by such board. Even if the note legally evidences an indébtedness of the County Board of Public Instruction, there is no showing that the indebtedness was duly incurred solely for
*617
the support and maintenance of public free schools as required by the Constitution.
Reversed.
Terrell, C. J., and Whitfield, Strum and Buford, J. J., concur.
