Yincy Boynton, aged 68, one of
Governor Boynton’s nine brothers, died
at his home near Amis’ mill, in Carroll
county, Saturday, and was buried at
Antioch church on Sunday. He had
been sick ahout two weeks.

THE STATE EVENING PAPERS.
RW The trial of the saint'y star
rout thieves drags its weary length
along at a cost of thousands of do lars
to the government. We have never
believed that these men Would be pun
ished, and the trials which is prolong
ed to such an extent is a disgusting
farce.
The qualifications for voting at the
next gubernatorial election are : Res
idence in the State one year and in the
county for six months next preceding
the election, and payment of all taxes
for which the voter is liable or which he
has had an opportunity of paying,
tfept for the year of the election.

Gen. Weaver says, “a large
Greenback element sti l exists in the
wi de of Michigan.” If we may judge
from the rasca ly developments now
being made at the national capiia'. it is
to be supposed that the“ argest Green
back element” in the country now ex-
is:s in and around Washington. D. G.
&3T Mr. Tom Felder, formerly of
this place, now attending col ege in
Athens, is on the editorial staff of the
iLtle University Reporter. Tom has
suffered much from violent a tacks of
c.acoethes scribendi in the past, and we
fear the medicine he is now taking is
too weak to effect a permanent cure.
The improvement of the eyen'ng pa
pers of the State, within the last year
or two, even during the past few months,
haye been so marked as to arrest the
attention of the most casual observer—
indeed, they now vie with the morning
editions of our dailies for excellence,
and are taking their proper place among
t he daily 1 ress of the State. But a
few years ago, the evening papers were
considered as only a curtailed rehash
of the morning papers, and received
only a meager support from the public
To-day they are sought with equal in
terest, and stand side by side of the
morning papers in the matter of news
and importance. We have on our ex
change list, the Augusta Evening News,
ihe Macon Evening Graphic, the Savan
nah Times and Savannah Recorder, and
u handsomer, newsier list of evening
dailies cannot be exhibited by any State
in the Union The Augus a News is
ihe oldest evening daily in the State,
and so great has been the improvement
of this journal that one scarcely realizes
that the News^of the piesent day was
the same paper of a few years ago. The
Macon Graphic sprang into existence a
bright, newsy sheet, and has well main
tained its position, while the Savannah
Times uvider its new management, with
in a few months has become a popular
and important journal, and has taken
its place in the front ranks of the even
ing daily Press. The morning papers
must look to their laurels, for as greater
journalistic talent is continually drifting
into the evening papers, they will con
tinue to divide the interest and patron
age of the public with their morning
contemporaries.
TROUBLE OVER THE NEW NICKEL.
The trouble over the new nickel is
not at, end. From reports received at
the Treasury, the gilding and passing
of this coin for gold is g/owing more
general every day. A prominent se
cret service officer says that arrests of
parties had been made by their men in
California. St. Louis, Pittsburg, Chi
cago, Louisiana, New York. Boston,
Kansas City, Dubuque and other pluces.
Complaints are ieing received from all
parts of the country. The Solicitor of
the Treasury has no doubt as to the act
of gi ding the pieces being one of coun
terfeiting. Another Treasury official
said the new nickel was a grave mis
take, and that they should never have
been made, “Why,” he said, “men are
paying a premium for them, and the
records ot the secret service will show
their purpose in doing this. They were
designed to perpetuate somebody 's mem
ory, and they will do it. 'Ihe peni
tentiaries will soon be full of living
monuments t> the greatness of their in
vention.
SHOCKING DEPRAVITY.
YW° President Arthur’s arrival m
Jacksonville, Fla., was made a gala
lime, and the President’s reception was
most enthusiastic. The city au hori-
ties, military companies and citizens
were all out to welcome him. We
hope that the President will discover
that the people of the South are pot,
altogether a set of heathens while he
passes through our Sunny clime.
A dispa‘ch from l hattanoog i. dated

dastirHv crimes that has b nckened

West Point. There are 125,000 peach
trees in it, besides a large number of
other kinds of fruit trees. They cover
over 700 acres. Mr. Parnell has plant

'i bis year's crop will be tolerably good
notwithstanding the freezes.
Augusta Chronicle.
A few days ago a white man named
Graham arrived in Augusta from Mouth
(. arolina, and going to police head
quarters st'ted that he lived about eight
times from Vaucluse, S. 0., and was in
this city in search of his dnughter, who
had eloped from home Saturday at mid
night with a negro named Jim Neese.
Officer Moss was detailed to assist him
in the search for his missing daughter
After a close and vigilant search in dif
ferent localities in the city, a trail of
the missing couple was finally struck
by the officer who, in company with the
father, proceeded to a boarding house
near the Enterprise Factory, and found
the girl with the negro. The negro at
first seemed inclined to offer resistance
when the father attempted to tear his
daughter from him, but changed his
mind when he saw the officer. Both
the negro and the girl were averse to
separation. Mr, Grisham promised not
to hurt Neese unless he followed them
back home and tiied to carry off the
girl, which ho tbrea ened to do. Neese
had been working with Mr. Grisham on
his farm for several years, and finallv
persuaded the child to elope with him,
and left Saturday at midnight on the
train. The father followed immediate
ly in a wagon, The girl is only iliir
teen years of age, and is described as
being pretty, with brown hair and eyes,
neat form, and altogether attractive,
while the negro is brown colored, and
is probably about 22 or 23 years of age.
He is a giant in size, with anything but
a pleasant countenance. Mr. Grisham
left for home with his daughter last
night.
