Ln the death of Mr. Charles Bolt, ilch occured about 3.30 p. m. last Frif afternoon, Union loses one of its it and most patriotic citizens. Mr. It has for several years suffered with ititis, or bladder trouble, the disease same chronic, and for the last twelve intlis he bad constantly suffered the ist acute pains and hardly passed a f without suffering. For the last few inths he had to be taken to and from 1 work. He was an indefatigable irker, and a less heroic nature and demined disposition would have no ubt succumbed long sinoe. He stood his post to the last and literally died harness. We know of no man who nessed a more kind feeling toward his ighbors and fellow man. He was evready to do a friendly turn for anye and often put himself to inconvenice to accomodate a friend, and he had rost of friends. Mr. Bolt was a native of Germany, a well educated, and one of the best amen in the city. During the campaign of *70 when it same necessary to put out a fusion ket to once more get a hold on the gns of our state government, which c i A. aiA i ? - i * - - ? a going uj poruiuun in me nanas or y ) northern scalawags and carpet bag e, Mr. Bole was nominated for Clerk t Court of Union county. He was a ctcd and served several times so t til- 1 ntly and satisfactorily that it was d be was the best Clerk of Court in 0 i state of South Carolina. He also 1 ved ten to twelve years as cltrkof the ird of county commissioners, and was ? iroaghly posted to the smallest details ( larding the county affairs, and his ^ Dwledge and experience have been a? uable aid to many officers of the? mty in recent years. We have never? own him to run for a public office? twsthstanding the fact that bis exper^l ce and qualifications fitted him to soessfully any office in the county gov^| mient. He was of a charitable diapo^B ion and those in need were neve^f ned away empty handed that th^| iter has ever heard of. His virtua^B i told when we say that he was a good? in, one whom anyone would feel proud? number among his friends. ?
