Born in Madison, Florida, Beggs attended both the South Georgia Agricultural College and the [[Wikipedia:University of Georgia|University of Georgia]] before returning to Madison and going into the newspaper business. He became editor and publisher, and later owner, of the ''Madison Recorder''. He eventually tired of the business and decided to pursue a career in law, and was admitted to the bar at Madison in [[1886]]. After his father's death a year later, Beggs moved to Kissimmee, Florida, serving as attorney for Osceola County, attorney for the town of Kissimmee, president of the town council, and Mayor of Kissimmee. Beggs remained in Kissimmee until [[1896]], at which time he moved to Pensacola. He married [[Lily Clubbs Beggs|Lily Clubbs]], daughter of prominent local citizen [[A. V. Clubbs]], shortly thereafter. Beggs continued to practice law in Pensacola, and held the position of Judge of the Court of Record in [[1896]] and from [[1902]] to [[1913]]. He also served as member and chairman of the Water Front Commission. In [[1918]] he was elected to the [[Escambia County School Board]], on which he served until [[1931]], at which time he retired from his seat in order to focus on his legal practice. He retired from his practice in [[1937]] and died on [[February 13]], [[1940]]. ==Electoral history=====Escambia County Judge of the Criminal Court of Record, [[1908]]=Other images==''This election was held on [[May 19]], [[1908]].'' {| class="wikitable"|-|'''<span style="color:blue;">DEM<galleryspan>'''Image:Judge dixie beggs|'''[[Elmore Dixie Beggs, Sr.jpg]]'''|'''1,646'''|Date unknown'''53%'''|-|'''<span style="color:blue;">DEM</galleryspan>'''|[[John Campbell Avery, Jr.]]|1,436|47%|}
