The high character borne by our
worthy friend, Mr.. W. L. Bolt, Sheriff of
Anderson, makes it work Of superogs-
tion to offer any thing as vindication of
him against the charges made through
the Greenville News of last Friday aud
copied by us in this issue The cemmu-
nications speak for themselves. We will,
however, state that Mr.. Vandiyer now
says that fellow prisoner, Hays by
name, wrote the article in question. We
have not seen Mr.. Hays, and do not know
what his side of the story is. There is
evidently something "shady" about the
transaction, and may give Vandiver some
trouble.
