"Bill" Tutt is no More.
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 ?
