New York, Aug. 9. The great war game, which will constitute the in structive feature at this year's field manoeuvers of the Eastern militia, and for which the Federal Govern ment has appropriated nearly $1,000, 000, is ready to begin on schedul time tomorrow. Not only has the war between the United States and some powerful foreign , nation been theoretically declared, but the enemy is supposed to have defeated the At lantic fleet of the United States, 'bottled up" the surviving warships in Hampton Roads and effected a suc cessful landing of 100,000 invaders near New Bedford, Mass., with the intention of invading and occupying New York. In accordance with the theoreti cal history of the imaginary events proceeding the actual beginning ot the war game, the : invading army drove back the American army and forced -it to concentrate near Boston. In an engagement supposed to have been taken place on August 5, the American troops we're defeated and compelled to retire . via Worcester, toward Albany, its new base, vigor ously pursued by the enemy. In the meantime the enemy pushed one ot its divisions westward to obtain con trol of-all important junction points along-the New York, New llaveu Hartford Railroad - in Connecticut and to cut off the water supply of New York City. Today, on the day before the beginning of the war game, the enemy is supposed to have begun the landing of a second expedition of 100,000 men at New, Bedford. , The first hostile expedition passed through Worcester in pursuit of tbe main body of the American troops retiring on Springfield. The American troops near New York are supposed to be rushed toward Danbury and Bridge port, while .a detachment Of the hos tile army took possession of Water bury. The enemy is supposed to be hampered in its advance toward Je York by the scarcity of rolling stock, concentrated in"-' Boston, and New York City and by ; some secondary American naval craft on the Hudson, ready to interfere with transporta tion over the shore" line of the N.

Leatherman, State Secretary, Addressed the Library Association This Mcrminf. Quite a large crowd greeted Miss Minnie W. Leatherman, secretary of the State library commissions, who who has been here for several days in the interest of tbe publie library, at the meeting of the library associa tion this morning. The library was alt.-actively deco rated with roses and flowers of va rious kinds and presented a most in viting apearance. Most of the au dience was composed of members of the library association but a num ber of friends of thejnstitution were also present. Miss Leatherman is a meet enter taining and interesting speaker and her talk this morning wag inspiring and helpful one to those interested in the library. She impresses one as thoroughly in love with her work and who is familiar with every detail. In speaking ot tbe local library Miss Leatherman spoke in highest terms of the work it had accomplished and stated that it was the most success ful library for the time it had been open she had ever visited. abort sieeches were also made bv Prof. C. E. Boger and Prof. A. S. Webb. Prof. Webb stated that he wanted to publicly acknowledge the good work that the library was doing among the school children of the city, saying that he had observed as a teacher that the school children were taking more interest and gain ing a remarkable fund of helpful knowledge by visiting the library and using the reference books and doing general reading. In resMnse lo a question by a re resentative of the city paper as to what was the greatest need of the local library, Miss Leatherman re plied that children's books were one of its greatest needs. "You know you can't have books without money and to get money you must interest the public and induce them to Join the library association,'' she said. "A city the size of Concord should have 1,000 members of the library association. I understand the dues are only $1.00 a year and the people should easily contribute that much. One dollar a year is only about two cents a week and every public spir ited citizen should gladly contribute that much to an institution that has such a great influence for good in a community as a public library," she concluded. From The Albemarle Enterprise. M. Cameron has resigned his posi tion as secretary and treasurer of the Albemarle Mantel Company, and he and Mrs. Cameron will go to Lauriu biirg about September 1, where they will reside. J. E.

Porter was married to Miss Daisy Bruton, daug.iter of Bavid Bru tion, at Mose Dry's residence near Century church, on Wednesday, July 24. They left on the following day for Concord to visit his people. Miss Daisy is a niece of Rev. Jacob Bru ton, of Central M. E. church. They will do light house keeping at the res idence of Mr. and Mrs. N. M. ByTd. County Commissioner A. F. Ma bry, while paddling a canoe across Rocky River one day last week, had an experience which was short of tragic only because the water at that point was somewhat shallow. A leak was sprung in -the bottom of the -boat, and it sank immersing Mr. Mabry, his wife and two other lady occu pants. Mr. Mabry did the heroic act and by dint of his strength and skill saved the day without the loss of a life. James Rodgers, son of pastor Rod gers oi Central Methodist enurcn, is quite an artist in many ways. Of a mechanical turn of mind, he has made a number of utilities around the house. But bis real talent is dis played best in a work of drawing. The "family tree" of John Barr, dating back to 1749, is artistically shown, giving in direct lineage the tree snd all its branches down to tbe present. James has secured a num ber of orders for this class of work, and is soon to enter upon a contract which will bring him $00 or $75, from one who has seen and become inter ested in his work. The teachers and students of the Wiscassett-.Efird graded schools show much disappointment over tbe eonli- tions confronting the present ' school year. With more than 700 eligible pupils and accommodations for only 250 of that number, and with no pros pect for an early change, the coming year offers ; no advantage . over the past. New buildings were: planned but it seems that no agreement, was reached hv the joint committee in charge. The situation is unfortunate, to say the least, and hope is freely ex pressed that the mills will yet see the great urgency oi better accommoda tions, and that they will arise to the neeas ot tne occasion.
