srATE-wDE A POPULAR TERM.
Genera Trend Toward Centraliza-
ion of Power.

Columbia, Jan. 22.-In his inau-
gural address, which has bee = very
much commended because 1t was
brief and pointed, Governor Ansel
touched on matter which seems to
strike the keynote of the tendency
Of the present Legislature. That is
disposition towards State uniform
ity and equalization, a State system
OF laws looking towards the conser-
vation of our resources and natural
wealth and for the government Of
the State. The individual county,
working out it's own salvation in the
way that seemed best to 1t, appears
to be drawing to an end, and CEN
tralization in the State, just as In
national affffairS, Capitalization in
the government, seems to be the end
of legislation. The Governor sug-
gested that drainage and the conser-
vation of our resources be cared
for by special commissions which
would formulate plans for Statewide
systems. Statewide" seems to be
the watchword from prohibition
right on through all Of the matters
of government and legislation. Col.
Cosgrove wants the State to take the
highways in charge; the department
Of education wants State system of
education; drainage and forestry
must be on plan embracing work
through the State, regardless of
county lines. The insurance depart
ment wants the business of insur-
ance governed through the State de-
partment; the tax department has
fretted over the inequalities of as
sessments in the various counties and
wants the State systematized. The
autonomy Of the county seems TO be
passing, and that is largely because
SO many counties have been unable
to keep up with the march of pro-
81 ess SO general through the State.
When that is made apparent, how
ever, there will be something of
stampede towards the preservation
of the threatened autonomy. because
the people Of South Carolina dearly
love the sound of the words "home
rule" even though that rule may be
expensive and inadequate.

WHEN JOSHUA WAS A HORSE.
Ashley Not Only Followed Tillman,
but Hauled Him.
augusta Chronicle. )


...Citizen Joshua" one OF the bright
scintilliators among the South Caro-
lima solons--bis hair is of the fam
ing kind and his face shines like
heet--has come to the front agian.
1T is good many years since "Citi-
zen Joshua" came into notoriety, a
time as aged as Tillmanism itself,
and it is long time, perhaps two or
three years, since he has Gayorted
much in the halls of the General AS
sembly, but here he bobs up again.
1T Is of no particular interest that
he is charged with peonage, save that
1T assures the public he is man OF
AFFAIRS. The fact that he has been
trotted out once morG suggests some
thing OF his career, his political gall
Looping, so to speak, and tHee Is why
the peonage charge is interesting.
Citizen Johua" strobe forward
yeas ago when the red flag of Till
manism was being Haunted from
Oconee to Charleston. He liked the
excitement bully and got on the band
wagon. He ran for the Legislature
from Anderson, stumped the county
with no sword but his tongue, with
"iiSh hS "HdChcu up tnS hlHS y
English with whackings that grated
from mountain to sea. He was
joke, but in this instance the Joker
won-he led his ticket. Citizen
Joshua" went to Columbia swearing
to protect the interests Of the "pee-
pull He did it by popping up from
his seat many times during the ses-
sions of the Legislature. "Mr. Cheer
man, I'm agin it," was the argu-
ment thai served as battering ram
against scores of bills. He kept on
sweating through blazing summer
primaries and kept on going to the
Legislature, all the while fuming for
Tillman and the "peepul."
1t is related of "Citizen Joshua"
that on one occasion when Governor
Tillman was to shell the woods at
Anderson, at the height of furious
campaign, he, with others, in their
patriotic zeal and ardor, hired
buggy in which to haul the new
prophet from the depot to the speak
er's stand, uptown. A hand-in-four?
o, no, Citizen Joshua" was to be
the horse, and he was. And this
same history of stormy infatuations
relates that years after, when Sena-
tor Tfllman was on political mis-
sion to Anderson, one of the first sons
OF the soil to greet him with knotty
hand was "Citizen joshua"
How you come on, Senator?" ask
ed the devoted follower.
"Who are you?" came from the
Senator, whose fame had now flash
ed across the borders of the Palmetto
State.
Don't you ricollect the time I met
you at the depot?"
20, yes; you are the fellow
drove up town that day, believe.
Your name Is Ashley" replied the
Senator, with chuckle and sweep of
his hand. at is said that the "legis-
lator" has never had much admira-
tion for the Senator since-the "Citi-
zen doesn't mind pushing or pull
ing, when the interests of the pee
pui' are at stake, but he is "agin"
being drove"
If Citizen Johua" hasn't grown
studious enough to learn the mean
ing of some words his testimony in
the peonage case will be worth going
long way to hear.

st. Paul, May 15.-The mystery sur.
rounding the fendish murder OF Louis
Arb0gast, the wealthy butcher who
was slain some time early Thursday
morning, remains rs impenetrable as
when the police first took up the mea-
ger threads left by the assassin.
That the solution Of the mystery lies
in the power OF TIE persons who occu.
pied the house the night the crime
was committed is the firm conviction
of the authorities.
No confession has yet been made
by any member OF the family. and NO
statement OF any kind throwing add.

tanned either from the widow of the
murdered man or any of her daugh-
ters.
Work Of Insane Person.
Mrs. Arbogast Is under treatment at
the city hospital for the burns she re-
ceived in the blazing bed. She is not
under arrest.
That the murder was the work Of
an insane person is the positive opin-
ion Of the police. That Mrs. Arbogast
is not and never has been insane is an
established fact. The authorities hold
the opinion that Mrs. Arbogast is US
ing all her woman's wit to cover up
the real facts In the case, and that all
attempts to obtain from her a true
story Of the crime have thus far fail
ed.
From all the facts thus far obtained
the theory now firmly held to is that
the mother is shielding some member
of the family.
