PREDICTS 25¢ COTTON
Atlanta, Ga., May 22.—Money
is more plentiful in New York
than it has been in years, and the
close of the European war will
usher the South into the greatest
era of prosperity she has ever
known, according to Charleg R.
Porter, formerly of .Rome, Ga.,
now president of the Consolidated
Petroleum Corporation, a $7,000,-
000 company recently organized
in New York.
“It has been easier to obtain
money for the development of en
terprises and indust-fes than I ev
er saw it in New York,” said Mr.
Porter in Atlanta yesterday.
“The manufacturing concerns
throughout the east were fortu
nate in being able to switch to the
manufacture of war,supplies and
their profits have filled the New
York banks to overflowing.
“Cotton will bring more when
the war is over than it has ever
brought since the period immedi
ately following the Civil War.
‘European countries, . launching
themselves upon aggressive man
ufacturing campaigns, will swal
low up the south’s entire supply
and clamor for more. In my opin
ion cotton wil bring 25 cents a
pound or more.
Mr. Porter passed through At
lanta on his way to Louisiana,
where his company owns large oil
fields.

BUDGET OF 31,200,000
- FOR PRESBYTERIANS
SOUTHERN ASSEMBLY DE
VOTES $660,000 OF THIS
AMOUNT TO FOREIGN
MISSIONS.
- Orlando, Fla.,, May 22.—The
general assembly of the Presby
terian church in the United Stateg
today apportioned its financial
budget for the coming year and
set minimum amounts that the
church will attempt to raise for
each department. Fifty-five and
one-half per cent of the total was
awarded to foreign missions and
the minimum set for this work
was $666,000.
Other apportionments and per
centages were: Home missions,
22 per cent, with a minimum of
$326,000 ; Christian education and
ministerial relief, 12 1-2 per cent,
with a minimum of $150,000; pub
lication and Sunday School exten
sion, 4 per ceént, with a minimum
of $48,000 ; 1 per cent for the Bible
cause, with @ . minimum of $12,-
000. This makes a total of $1,200,-
000. - The: report of the standing
committee on sydematic. benefi
cence was adopted without any
change.
The Rev. Neal L. Anderson
tried to get before the assembly
this morning the part of the re
port of the committee regarding
‘woman’s position in the church
but failed. Part of the report
was disposed of Saturday, and at
that time the assembly deferred
action on the balance of it until
today. The assembly Saturday
decided that the pulpit is no place
for women. Much interest is
manifest in what decision will be
made on the question of deacon
nesses.
~ Birmingham, Ala., Chattanoo
ga, Tenn., and Durant, Okla., are
seeking the 1917 convention. It
is believed a point east of the Mis
sissippi river will be chosen be
cause of the added expense of
holding the assembly west of the
river. *“?’fl_b."
Interest in the Birmingham in
vita#hon is added by the fact that
it comes from the South Highland
church, which during the past
year was prominently before the
church at large as a result of the
preachings of the Rev. H. M. Ed
monds, which were repudiated by
the presbytery of north Alabama.
The present pastor of the South
Highlands church is the Rev. Al
bert Sidney Johnson.
