spindle looms in Birmingham
and Manchester were idle and
thousands of English workers
went hungry. In the Confederacy,
millions of bales were stocked in
warehouses, in depots, in the
fields. The Southerners were in
dire need of medical supplies,
munitions, foods, and manufac-
tured goods. A barrel of salt

Widespread Speculation
After Ulysses S. Grant captured
Fort Donaldson, he penetrated
into Mississippi. Now came the
opportunity for each side to OBJ
tain the articles so badly needed.
Brisk trading behind the lines
sprang up. Washington would not
interfere since the demand for
cotton was too urgent. Specula-
ton became rife, and army Off
GERS were involved in secret part
nerships. 1t was known that Jesse
Grant, father of the General, re-
ceived a cut from cotton buyers
who, through his recommended
tons, obtained permits from the
son. After making a tidy fortune,
a relative of Mrs. Grant was
ordered to leave the camp. The
President remarked to friend:
"The army is diverted from fight
ing the rebels to specializing in
cotton" Treasury agents sent to
investigate became themselves
implicated in the traffic. Some
army officers captured 100000
worth of cotton and pocketed the
proceeds.

Churet, Plan Gets
Survey By Local
PresbYferians

AT a meeting Monday night at
eight O'Clock the Presbyterians
made study of the Plan of Union
OF the Presbyterian Church in the
United States of America North
ern Presbyterian church,, and the
Presbyterian Church in the United
States (SOuthern), and the United
Presbyterian Church in the United
States. If this plan is adopted the
church will be known as The Pres
byterian Church of the United
States.
The plan has been issued for
study by the local churches and
the Presbyteries so that they may
suggest any changes for the plan
that they see fit. This was the
purpose of the local meeting. The
suggested changes will be sent in
to the committee working on the
plan and it is expected that a re-
vised plan will be presented TO the
General Assemblies of the three
churches involved next year.
Before this union can be accom-
plished, however. it will have to
be passed on by the General As
sembly, sent down to the Presbv-
terleS for vote that requires "a of
the Presbyteries to pass on it. and
then passed on by the second
General Assembly.
AT the present time the plan is
only at the point of study by local
groups. The Presbytery of Will
mington held its study of it Tues
day, Oct. 81 in Wilmington at an
open meeting.
The local pastor F. c. Hutchinson
says, Much study, thought and
prayer is being given the matter
and il is still as yet unsettled as
10 what the outcome will be. The
question that our church is facing
at present is, IF union does come
will this plan be good one upon
which TO base it,"
The plan being studied contains
a suggested Confession of Faith
and Book Of Church Order for the
three Presbyterian bodies to agree
upon. II is very similar to the ones
already held by the three churches
but has in it suggested changes at
points where the bodies have diff
ferences.
Rev. Hutcheson conducted the
Plan for the officers and members
of the Tabor City Presbyterian
Church.
