Anniston, Oct. 5s---fSpeciaL)--Tt is believed that the public schols of An niston will have two additional teach CTS for the present session. Already complaints have come from the prtn- cipals ana teachers about the con- eested condition of the schools, and an attempt will be made to remedy It.
 Attorney-G General Garber, under the new law has decided that funds for the special school districts must be sent to the County superintendents for dis tribution. A well-known attorney who Is a member of the City B1ard of Ed tion has decided that stts separate school districts, especially Anniston. will receive money as heretofore.
 The act creating Anniston special school district was passed prior to the adoption of the new constitution. The constitution states that all special laws not in conflict with the constitution, shall remain in effect until other local laws are passed No new laws Tor Anniston have been passed, and, there fore. the old law holds good guaran- teeing Anniston ample funds for em- blowing the teachers necessary in the paiblic schools.
