members of the association and has at

last night of the interest the business

Mr. Hughes ut is upon the business

"One of the strong and vital forces in
the movement which has resulted in Civ

staple crop Is John ID. Walker of Spar
ia, Ca 1t would be difficult to over
estimate the value of the work he has
done in behalf of the farmers of the
south.
That the Cotton association has done
good work is no longer a matter of de-
bate The fact is established, an din con-
nection with this too much cannot be
said in praise of Mr. Walker, who sue
ceeded in raising $4,000 for the purpose of
carrying on the work. The fact is Mr..
Walker has had a remarkable career.
During the thirty-four years of his LIE
he has accomplished more than many
man of twice his age. While 1t was the
desire of his friends that he complete his
education by taking thorough university
course, he preferred commercial pursuits
and at the age of 10 he entered the bust
ness arena.
Mr.. Walker was born in Augusta, the
home of many progressive business men
and many chivalric gentlemen His pa
rents were Col. c. V. Walker and Lucy
Pearson Walker. His mother was the
granddaughter of Hon. Freeman Walk

known throughout the south. Thousands
of farmers and cotton dealers know MN
not personally, but by reputation for what
he has accomplished for them. Hon. Haf-
