REBELLION IN PROGRESS.
Much Blood Has Already Been Shed at
 Apia.

San Francisco, Cal, January 1S.-Cable- grams to the Call from Auckland, N. E., under date of January l6, say:
 When the Oceanic steamship Alameda left Apia on January F, d revolution had broken out on the Samoa islands and was being waged with much bloodshed and great destruction to property The war4 ships Fake and Porpoise, the latter in cofnA mand of Captain Sturde, were then at the islands and were taking steps to stop tho rioting. On December 31, the chief justice determined in favor of MaFletoa Tanu, claiming that Mataafa was barred by tue treaty of Berlin. On January 1, 5000 of Ma taafa's followers rose in rebellion and deg feated 2,000 of Malieto's men, ambushing them and killing thirteen natives and wounding many. The rebels have burned 400 houses and razed the town of Upol. The bread fruit trees have been cut down in many places. The foreigners are unini jured. aa

1t seems to be settled fact that
Col. l. w YOumans, of Barnwell,
intends to be Il candidate for the
CnitCi States senate against Sen
atOr b Il Tillman. Col. Youmans
will be remembered as a candi-
date for the office of secretary Lf
State in 1892 in the old fight be-
tween Conservatives and Reform
crs. He is an a Die man and a pa
triOtIc man and sa far as we know,
there is not the slightest stain on
his record. If he should 90 to the
United States Senate he would
represent the State with credit. -
We have no idea, however, that
he will be able to beat Senator
TilIman. Neither do we think
anyone else will he able to sup
plant Senator Tillman. At least
that is the way it looks now. In
getting himself before the people,
Senator Tillman committed many
grave sins. He made numerous
unfoundcd charges against many
good citizens, and used other meth~
ODDS that were more or less dis.
creditabIc; but which we are sor-
ry to say are only too common in
politics. But all of that is forgot.
tcO now. Tiilman the politician
and TilIman the statesman, are
two different men. AS politi-
clan, TiIlman is not altogether ad-
mirable as a statesman he shows
up much better. He makes caps
itai scnatOr-a better senator even
than he was governor. 1t is not
likely there is a man in the State
who can fill the Senator's present
position with greater ability or
more general satisfaction. We
believe this is the opinion of the
vast majority of the people of the
State. Tie greatest danger that
Senator Tillman has ahead of him
is in the event he should seek to
return to his former political meth
ods-the policy of stirring un an
imosity and strife. This proba-
bly, would not insure defeat but
1T would make his success doubt.

Special to The State.
Clemson College, Aug 29--The
State Farmers institute opened
last night. Quite u number of
very prominent farmers are pres
ent. Hon Robt Aldrich, Hon j
ID Nj Shaw and Hon T M Raysor,
members of the board of visitors,
are present. They seem delighted
with the management of affairs at
Clemson.
Col r w Simpson, who was to
have made the address of welcome,
could not be present. Col Nj B
Hardin, acting president, well
coined the visitors in a very ap.
propriate speech. Col Newman,
professor of agriculture, then
gave his plans for the cultivation
of cotton, and showed conclusive
ly that there is a right way as
well as a wrong way 20 cultivate
the weed. Col Newman talked
practically. He stresses thorough
preparation, claiming that, with
the proper preparation, only ore
hoeing is necessary. The beds
for planting should he thrown up
high and then cross narrowed SO
as to drag the rocks, clods, etc,
into the middle furrOw. The cot
ton should be drilled by any good
planter inst thick enough to get Il
continuous row of plants. In dry
weather is better to cover with Il
roller. The best plow is the
small tongue and heel scrapc. The
ground is filed with seeds of
grasses and weeds TO n considera~
ole depth: therefore shallow
plowing is better, because it kills
the grass without turningup more
seeds to be sprouted. 1t is not
necessary to "dirt" cotton, be-
cause it does not pat out side
roots above where they arc first
put out. Frequent pIowings are
necessary to keep the moisture in
ground. a crop should be cults
waited as long as it continues to
grow. .
NJ sellers, Col Donaldson and
DR. Nesom gave their views on
the subject.

IN THE COURTS
Decision Handed Down
Regarding Usury.
Judgment of the District Court
Sed-Photographs May
Not Be Held.

Yesterday the Supreme Court handed
down a decision in the assumpsit mat
ter of j. H. Schnack VS. J. H. Hare, in
| favor of the plaintiff, reversing the
| judgment of the District Magistrate
The important points of law involved
| in the decision are:
Our statute of usury does not pre-
vent the recovery of the principal
where principal and usurious interest
are separable, even though they are
| Jumped together in the note sued on.
Payments made ON account of such
note should be applied to the prin-
cipal''
A note was given by defendant for
| $3.50, payable six months after date. On
this he made payments of $50. Plain
| tiff sued 10 recover the balance with in
terest. When the case came up in the
District Court it developed that the
note had been given for 500, the re-
naming $50 being for the six months
interest, at S. a month. The ruling OF
the District Judge was that as usur-
ious rate of interest had been charged
the contract was rendered null and
void. The plaintiff appealed to the
Supreme Court, which, in its decision,
holds that while the interest in excess
of the lawful rate may not be collected
in a judicial way, the principal may be
collected

had been prepared the plaintiff refused
to pay for them, and the defendant
would not restore the originals until
the pay was forthcoming. In the de-
cision the judges hold that a photog-
rapher has no lien upon pictures left
in his possession in order to make
copies therefrom.
