WALKER WRITES HIS SONGS
IN SILENCE OF THE NIGHT
How would you Ilk* to bt « com
poser's wifo?
On tha aurfac* It would seem to ba
the Ideal life to move conatantly In an
atmoephere of harmonious sound*. But
Mm. Edward H. Walker might give
testimony to the contrary If she was
any less a loyal wife.
Edward H. Walker, of College Park,
Is a real estate man by profession and
a poet and music composer by Aem
perament. Had he had nothing but
the poetic aide to consider, the world
might have had some of his excellent
songs earlier.
But crude material things thrust In
on poet and plodder's affairs alike, and
Mr. Walker had first to listen to this
more Insistent cell. In real estate
transactions h| found a Held In which
to accumulate considerable property.
Fortified with worldly goods against
the rainy day, Mr. Walker can now
give rein to his muse. He Is the au
thor of four sentimental songs, three
of which have been published by the
North American Music Company, of
New York. The fourth will be Issued
by the Mozart Music Company, of New
York, In about two week*.
The basic theme of his ballads I*
tho four colors of woman's eyes—a
theme that has enthralled poetic tern
peramenta from time Immemorial. Here
Is the title* of his songs: "Her Brown
Eyes Nestled In My Heart." "8he Tan
gled My Heart With Eye* of Gray,'
"Her Sweet Black Eyes Performed the
Trick,” and "Her Blue Eyes Flow’d
Into Mine. - ' •
Mr. Walker is known as “The Sun
ny South'* Song Writer." He was born
In LaG range, b'ut was reared In At'
lanta. The muse tickled him early In
his boyhood, and declined to yield lo
material matters. Mr. Walker comes
of a distinguished family, his grand
father being Judge Edward Y. Hill, and
his grand uncle United States Senator
Joshua Hin. The family Is famous In
literature and law.
One peculiar fact about Mr. Walker’s
song-writing—the muse refuses to go
on duty until the dead hours of night,
when all the rest of the world Is
wrapped In slumber.
Then the poet-musician writes his
songs. So moved Is he at times at some
beauty of commingled notes, that he
wakes hi* wife up to read the com
position to her.
Hence, the query, how would you
like to be a music composer's wife?
Mrs. Walker likes It, because she Is
one of the best critics and firmest ad
mirers of her husband's work.

WAREHOUSE PLAN
IS
AT
S. C. A. State Presidents
I
Make Public Now
Storage Plan.
What they consider the best plan yet
proposed for the control of the cotton
crop of the South by the producers of
the staple, and one which will Insure
the grower the price fixed by the
Southern Cotton Association and place
the cost of storing and protecting the
crop, was decided upon at the meeting
In Birmingham Wednesday of the state
presidents of the association.
Tbls plan calls for the organisation
of warehouse and holding companies
In various counties, with capitalisa
tions on the basis of >3 per bale of
production. All members of the South
ern Cotton Association will participate
In all benefits and privileges of the
companies. The stock of these com
panies 1* not limited to any vocation or
profession. A farmer may take stock
or not, as h* pleases.
It Is planned for these companies to
buy up all cotton In the various coun
ties belonging to persons not members
of the association, and this rotton will
be stored and then sold for the price
decided upon by the Southern Cotton
Association. In order to do this with
out an Immense capital. It Is proposed
to buy this cotton, store It In the com
pany's warehouse, borrow money on
the receipt and pay for It. This can
be done, It I* pointed out, with only
>10 capital per bale. In this manner
10,000 bales may be controlled with a
capital of 1100.000.
Data, plans and specifications for
standard warehouses will be furnished
by the state presidents to the county
organisations. The meeting at which
this plan was adopted was attended by
W. H. Seymore, chairman; Dr. Will It.
Woods, secretary and representing
President Walter Clark, of Mississippi;
Paul M. Pott*. Louisiana; M. I.. John
son, Georgia; a C. Moore, North Caro
line, and E. D. Smith, South Caro
lina.
The work of organising Ihe counties
will he taken up at once by the state
presidents, and It Is expected that the
plan will be In full operation by fall
when this year's cron Is sold.
