pLATT AGAINST HUGHES.

TN HIS enemies Governor Hughes of New
a York, is fortunate. Aged Senator Platt has
assaed the governor declaring that Hughes is
"a ruthless tyrant" who asks the Legislature to
do his will under penalty of appealing to the peo-
pie. This is horrible thought for bosses of the
Platt kind. They are not accustomed to appeals
to the people Rather do they desire to appeal to
the corporations.
Platt as the head of the express trust, which
has been gouging the country for years, is fit
boss to lead opposition to Hughes.
1t is stated that political war is on In New
York Cortelyou, according to this story, is to
take charge of the opposition to Governor
Hughes, and the President has determined 10
"down Hughes" Even Roosevelt, with his Sec
retary Of the Treasury as his spokesman will find
it difficult TO break the hold that Hughes has
upon the masses Of the people. Politics make
strange bed-fellows, but the spectacle Of the
President and Platt working for the same end is
not thrilling or inspiring one.

A large number Of sunners, experts

Of the small ones continued from the
early morning until late in the after
noon. and the persons living near the
marshes We're treated TO a noise like
a miniature battle.
The reed birds had not been molest-
ed until Yesterday ard they were
plump and toothsome. The gunnefs
taking advantage of the opening Of
the season. gave the birds little time
TO forage yesterday ana the guns
sounded from one end Of the state to
the other.
The birds were plentiful and many
large strings of them were brought
home by those who were expert i'm the

older ones. i'm bringing down the birds.
but many a youth who went out with
a confident smile came back with a
glum look as the result of counting
his birds before they were killed.
Numerous gunners were disappoint-
ed to find many of the favorite feed
ing grounds for birds posted with "no

there are more posted preserves this
year than ever before. and as a re-
suit the opportunities of bringing

IN MUDDLE AGAIN.
Huntsville Board of Education Mad
 Void by Municipal Code.

Huntsville Board of Education Made Void by Municipal Code. Huntsville. Aug. i7G-(Special.) )-That fact that the local bill creating Board of Education for the Huntsville school district had been rendered null and void by the municipal code bill, became known here yesterday. It was gener, had become law after the enactment of the code bill. and the fact that the latter. with its clause repeating all general and local laws in conflict had only recently be- come a law. was surprising to the zen : eral public. as we'll as city officials and the members of the Board.
 Paul Speake. W. I. Wellman. James H Pride. Jackson Rand and R. E. Pet- tus composed the Board created by the local bill. and they had already assuni- cd their duties, having elected full faculty for the city school. Prof. S. Butler, County superintendent of Eau cation. had been elected Superintendent of Public Schools. with R. P. WILLS as assistant
 The creation of this Board had been rerardsd as A solution of the school muddIe. which has cost the city and State many hundreds of dollars in the maintenance of separate schools in thus precinct There was no opposition or fered by any faction in city politics to the enactment of this law. and the City Council had agreed to pay over to the Board whatever sum of money was re duired, in addition to the State funds. for the operation of first class chool
 By the terms of the new municipal code law. the selection of the Board of Education rests with the City Council and that body is required to name i've members to serve one, twos three' four and five years respectively. When tn" time comes round for the election of successors to the incunabents on the Board, the term of office will be nve years. All monies Intended for the use of the schools of this district must be paid over to this Board. The only material difference caused by this mix up is that the City Council, instead Of the members of the Legislature. will d. rect the policy of the city school.
 The new Board will be elected Tues day night next. The City Council will name the members of the Board and they will in turn elect City Superin- tendent and a Principal. There will probably be no change in the city school. faculty except as to the prinei- pal
