Columbia 8tate, November 29. William H. Tutt, who in bis young manhood was considered a model of morality, and who used to drive to ais work in a carriage, commanding i fine salary as a printer just after die War between the States, died yesterday of cold and starvation in a shanty on north Marion street. Deserted by his friends and dragged down and weakened by disease, 28 was brought to this pitable death ay his ungovernable appetite for itrong drink. He was found dead a bed by a negro woman who lives n the yard. The deceased was at 2ne time one of the finest printers in ;he south, but in the last 20 years of lis life he had been a hard drinker ind for the past 10 years misfortune ias followed misfortune and many tnd severe hardships which he has lurvived illustrate with what a wonlerful constitution he started, and what splended success be might have ittained but for his passion for whistey. Two years ago be was so lorribly burned at his Marion street lome that he. lost one of his legs. Ele had barely been able to subsist rince, principally through the charity if negro neighbors who could not relist a sense of pity for his horrible sondition of want. His widow, a woman of refinement, is now a helpess cripple living with her only 3hild, a married daughter, residing in the north. Mr. Tutt was born in Columbia about 53 years ago. [Mr. Tntt served his apprenticeship here under G. A. Fink before die war, in the publication of the Lexington Flag. He was also, at roe time, a partner of the writer, in ;he Dispatch. He was a hoe printer md a clever gentleman. Strange too, le was for years a strong temperance nan, and why he addicted himself ;o strong drink is a mystery. In his lealh we can but feel sad and wonler why such a useful man must fill he grave that he did. He, like )thers, though, are to be pittied and lot censured for his troubles were hie >wn. So we let him rest in peace ? 3d. Lexington Dispatch. Ask your doctor about "Fewer jallons, wears longer."
