Death of Cbarlea Bolt, In the death of Mr. Charles Bolt which occured about 3.30 p. m. last Fri day afternoon, Union loses one of it* beet and most patriotic citizens. Mr Bolt has for several years suffered will cystitis, or bladder trouble, the diseasi became chronic, and for the last twelv< months he had constantly suffered th< most acute pains and hardly passed < day without suffering. For the last fev months he had to be taken to and fron his work. He was an indefatigabli worker, and a less heroic nature and de termined disposition would have n< doubt succumbed long since. He stoor to his post to the last and literally diet in harness. We know of no man wh< possessed a more kind feeling toward bit neighbors and fellow" man. He was ev er ready to do a friendly turn for any one and often put himself to inconven fence to accomodate a friend, and he bad a host of friends. Mr. Bolt was a native of Germany, was well educated, and one of the best penmen in the city. During the campaign of '70 when it became necessary to put out a fusion ticket to once more get a hold on the reigns of our state government, whicfc was going to perdition in the hands o! thfl rnirthfirn a/*a]nwnorfl and mmof hon rule, Mr. Bolt was nominated for CtaS of Court of Union county. He waa elected and served several times so <fllciently and satisfactorily that it was said be was the best Clerk of Court in the state of South Carolina. He also served ten to twelve years as clerk of the board of county commissioners, and waa thoroughly posted to the smallest detaile regarding the county affaire, and his knowledge and experience have been a valuable aid to many officers of the county in recent years. We have never known him to run for a public otll:e notwsthstanding the fact that his experience and qualifications fitted him to fill successfully any office in the county government. He was of a charitable disposition and those in need were never turned away empty handed that the writer has ever heard of. His virtues are told when we say that he was a good man, one whom anyone would feel proud to number among his friends. Mr. Bolt had served a number ol Ssrs in the capacity of book keeper and was considered one of the very brat in the city. Beginning with the ForterWilkins Company some twelve years ago hi has continued at his old desk under the several changes in the fl-m name, viz A. H.
