THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. THURSDAY. MAT 16, WOT. 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.

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.

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.
