His Pathetic Life
Battle at an End
Story of Pathetic Struggle Is Re.
veaIed at Death of Aged
Savannah Man.

SAVANNAH, Jan. 10.-The pathet-
&c story of man who made heroic
battle through life and lost, was ne
vealed to-day in an investigation into
the death of w. G. Fairchild, aged co,
who was found in a squalid room at
his boarding house. He had been
dead three days.
Fairchild was of one of the old
families of the city. His father was
prominent in church and civic life
before the war. The young man was
given every advantage, but did not
prosper. When he was 80 years old
ne became enraged at boy of Is or
10 years and killed him. He was SEN
fenced TO life Imprisonment at the
penitentiary and served ten years,
when he was pardoned.
He returned TO Savannah to find his
father dead, the estate gone and no
one had seen his young wife since a
few days after he was sentenced
He started his life over, and for a
long time he prospered, and at one
Tune was on the road to success. His
health failed him, however, and he
lost what he had gained. For the
last few years of his life he was
practically dependent.

FLORIDA SENATE
IS BEGUN;
'DRYS' ARE BUSY.
Fletcher Has Opposition From
Stockton-Good Roads and
Prohibition Issues.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Jan. 1O.-Now
that the new year has dawned, poll
tics is beginning to warm up In
Florida, Interest Is of course para
mount in the Senatorial fight. but
there will be many other contests.
Senator Duncan U. Fletcher is
home actively at work. He will be
assisted by Judge Dodge, of Jack
sonville, in the conduct of his cam
paign, but the Senator will be the
real manager. John N. c. Stockton
is attacking the Senator's fences
quietly, or rather his friends are do
ing the work. as Mr. Stockton has
done little active campaigning yet.
On both sides there Is much quiet
work going on.
Colonel George c. Martin, Of
Brooksville, is spoken of as a posi-
Bile candidate, but it is very doubtful
II he will be in the running when the
June primaries draw near.
1nasmuch as the Anti Saloon
League and the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union are both working
for another State wide fight for prohi-
bition, it is very probable that this
question will figure to some extent
in the legislative races in the various
counties.
Good roads will also figure largely.
as there is growing State-w wide SEN
timent for State highways connecting
all sections. Candidates not enthusi-
astically in favor of some definite
good roads legislation will stand lit
tie show.
