He did not accept the office as a mere liouoi-, hut dived into its «*. He served 011 six of the most prominent committees of , the , House, „ an honor rarely ever bestowed upon one so young and inexperienced as lie, as it* generally requires time to become acquainted with the duties oi a new office. As a Representative, Mr. Boykin , has served , the people ot Lincoln T ■ 1 county conscientiously and well. He will receive many handshakes of warm congratulations from his num and illustrious manner in which he has served them. Tlie Atlanta reporter to the An gusta Chronicle in speaking of Mr. Boykin says: “Speaker Morris paid Represents five Bovkin of Lincoln ton quite a compliment when he called upon him to preside over the committee of the whole house. This honor gen erally goes to the older and more ex perienced members, but the speaker knew his man, being one of and the brightest editors of the state, reckoned rightly that he would sus tain himself with signal ability.” W. 0.
