AUDITOR SETTLES
SHORTER COLLEGE
SUIT WITH SIMMONS
ROME, GA.. Dec. 13. —Litigation that
liax been pending for two years was
practically ended when Auditor A.
Thortrwell settled the dispute between
the trustees of Shorter college and for
mer President T. J. Simmons and wife.
Dr. and Mrs. Simmons are now both
prominently connected with Brenau col
lege for girls at Gainesville.
Dr. Simmons and the trustees had
a disagreement and he quit as president
of Shorter and went to Brenau. The
trustees brought suit against him for
piano rentals and practice fees, for al
leged unjust rent on two of the college
buildings and furniture and also charg
ed that he had violated his salary con
tract with them. A counter suit was
filed by Dr. Simmons for ba< k salary
and rent.
Sensational charges were made
against Dr. Simmons and considerable
feeling was manifested. The auditor
decided that Dr. Simmons xvas entitled
to his salary, but that he had no right
to charge rent on the pianos or build-
I ings. The verdict amounted to 341 in
I favor of tiie trustees. The fight will
I now be carried before Judge Maddox
for review.

COW’S REPUTATION IS
ATTACKED IN COURT:
WAS “BEAUTY” BAD?
Was Beauty” a mild and good-look
ing cow, worthy of her name, or xxas
she an ugly, vicious and obnoxious
beast? It was Judge Andy Calhoun xvho
had to decide “Beauty's” character in
the city court yesterday, this being the
first time he ever delved into the mys
teries of bovine reputations
J. S. Galamore claimed that he shot
“Beauty” in self-defense, and Mrs. T.
E Parker. 796 Edgewood avenue,
brotfght In many witnesses to prove
that “Beauty” was so gentle she ex r en
hated to bite glass. J. T. Williams
said he had owned the cow from the
date of her birth, and even when she
was a calf "Beautj’” was so gentle her
mother thought she was sick all the
'time.
Galamore said “Beauty” might be all
they claimed for her, but that she
chased him clear across his yard and
into his porch. Mrs. Parker said it
was "cussedness" which caused him
to shoot the poor beastie, and that its
efficiency as a milk-producer has been
permanently impaired.
The cow may be brought into court
today to testify in its own behalf, as
the case was continued until this morn
ing. The question still remains; How
good was "Beauty”?
