SPIRITS ARE AGAINST
VOTES FOR THE WOMEN

New York, January 21-William
James, who was professor of phil
osophy at Harvard when he died on
August &c, 1910, and who before his
death promised his friend DR.. James
II. Hyslop of the American Society
for Psychical Research, that he would
strive to send such messages from
the spirit world as would demon
strate life after death, has been try
ing once more, according to Dr. Hys-
lop,' to communicate with Hyslop
and others.
This time the spirit of DR.. James
warns Hyslop of an evil spirit or
influence, a poltergeist, which cum
ningly leaves razor blades and
matches in places where they might
do the most harm; an evil shade,
which turks in the dark and hurts
inkstands and heavy stones at the
heads of true believers. The spirit
of James is terribly exercised over
the wickedness of the poltergeist
and struggles incoherently to warn
Dr. Hyslop.
Professor James has been commu-
nicating lately through the medium
of a boy fifteen years old. who. DR..
Hyslop says, is the son of a clergy

Minnesota farmers are prosperous
enough to have the very best ma
chinery and stock, and pianos and
automobiles-and most of them have
these things. But few fix up their
houses so they are as comfortable,
convenient and beautiful as they
might be-they just "put up with
the old home and its old equipment.
This doubtless has been due largely
to the difficulty in getting trained
architects to take up their peculiar
problem.
Now the State Art society, a de
partment of the state government
has taken up the problem for them.

news received in this city Thursday morn
ing announcing the death of W. H..
Cooper, probate judge of Calhoun county,
who succumbed to cancer of the stom-
aeh after an operation at a Birmingham
hospital, was not surprising, as 1t has
been known for some time that the
chances of Judge Coopers recovery were
meagre. His body has been brought back
here for funeral and interment.
William Henry Cooper was born at
Benton, Polk county, Tennessee, January
TO- 1858, being the son of w. p. and Eliza
beth Cameron Cooper. and the grandson
of Philip and Clarinda CFreemam Cooper.
His ancestors came to America with Og-
lethorpe on his second trip in the ''Phoe-
nix" landing at Charleston, s. c. His
forebears fought under Washington and
through his mother traced his ancestry
back to the Clan Cameron of Scotland.
Judge Cooper was graduated from How
ard college after getting his elementary
education in the public schools of Alex
andria Valley in this county and the
lower schools of Georgia. He had been
engaged in various lines of business. and
was acting as broker at oxford, his
home, when he was elected probate judge.
Both he and his father, w. p. Cooper,
had served as members of the Alabama
legislature. Judge Cooper having been ac-
tive in the interest of prohibition dur
ing the Conner administration He was
succeeded by G. d. Martin. He was a
member of the Baptist church, a Mason
and had been associated with the Elks,
the knights of Pythias and Red Men.
He is survived by widow and a small
daughter. besides two sisters, Mrs. w.
w. Whiteside of oxford and Mrs. Sam
Crook of Jacksonville
The people of the county gave Judge
Cooper large majorities in all of his po-
litical ventures, and he was very pop
ular socially, his death being generally
lamented.
