4 JUDGES TEST.
He Wanted a SOn.in-Law With a Big
Head.

Judge Cooper, of Shelhyvillc. Tenn,
was one of the most powerful pcrSonall-
ties of the middle South He was 4 great
figure during the Civil war, a fine speaker
after the war, and has been Il notable
Judge during the latter years OF his life.
To know Judge Corper, of TenncSSe, is
at once to know all that is best and most
interesting of the life of the great from
tier State. His fund of anecdote is with
out limit his hospitality for half cen
tury has been unbOundcd. He has often
been urged to write book that should
deal with the "reminiscences of the South
crn Judge, and give to the world a bril-
liant historical picture of the intensely
interesting legal and political life of that
South which he has known iu so many
phases.
Judge Cooper has a powerful figure as
we'll as mentality. His head is of limcn-
sions rare among men. 1t has the breadth
and length that folks want in their great
men. He is proud of his head, and it
was well known throughout Tennessee
that Judge Cooper required similar
head on the man who should win his
daughters hand.
Miss Cooper was belle and many men
paid court to her ut the fine old home in
Shelbyville Whenever young cavalier
became frequent in his attentions the
Judge would mark that young man when
he came in, then slip out into the hall,
take the mans hat from the rack and try
it on his head The next morning he
would say to his daughter:
you needn't be falling in love with
that young man, because his hat doesn
fit my head, and you can't have him.
He was fully determined that no small
headed should win his daughter, for he
didn't believe any good could come out
of small head.
A few years passed and none of the
hats that hung so frequently in the
Cooper hall would 60 on the head of the
hospitable host. The joke on these
young men quietly spread over Tennes-
see. 1t was openly said that no man with
small head need present himself as a
suitor for Miss Cooper's hand.
At last Shelbyville knew that one man
was getting all Miss Coopers smiles. He
was South Caroliniaian of gigantic pro-
portions.
He called one night and the judge
found them sitting on a moonlit piazza.
He went straight to the hallrack and tried
on the mans hat. 1t fitted.
He told the fact to his daughter the
next morning. II am already engaged
to him." she answered with the independ-
cnce of the Southern girl.
The man in the case is DR.. Thomas A.
Hoyt, pastor of the Chambers-Wylie
Memorial church, of Philadelphia, and
one of the powerful personalities in the
PRESBYTERIAN church.

pensary bill is shown by the fact that
where Bamberg county only received
about 81 500 for her schools under the
old law, she now gets nearly s. 900 under
his bill passed by the last Legislature.
This enables Banlberg to pay all county
expenses without going in debt or rails
