APPOINTMENT'S POK TU K CAMPAIGN. Tho State Executive Committee announce to thoir IV? 1 K>wcitizens that tlit: .Stute caovass will formally open du September 10 Already tho conti ties, in general, ate ready for action, and iho committee en.tin it d mh that tho campaign will he its brilliant as hrief. Throughout the oanva.vs the Dum ? cracy of Soul!) Carolina will have lud one rule of conduct. The plat form of 187C, adopted ami reaflirmcd in l.sys, is the supreme law of the Democratic party. By it the. highest and the lowest arc hound. No per son or body of.persons, other than a Stale Convention, can change or modily its wise provisions nnd pa trio lievtacla rations. Within tlie liiio of the j'lni form of the Democracy we tiro Kilo. Outside of u, nud beyond it, 11, ore is no true Democracy in South Carolina. No issue not made in the platform, and inconsistent with it, can l>c raised. No issue made, in tlie platform and consistent with it can be ignored. 'J lie platform of the Democratic party of South Carolina is nt once a history and a prophecy. It is the re cord ol what is past and the assur ance of what is to come. In it arc declared Democratic principles and Democratic practice. The issue in South Carolina, as made by the Democratic party, not an is-ue of race. Oh tho contrary, the objects of the Democracy iu retaining con trol of tho State, are to complete tho reform ot abuses, to punish public ci iminnls, to maintain the purity and ability of the government iu all its branches, to lower the rate of taxa tion ami lessen the burdens imposed upon tho people, to ensure pqatfo >o.J \ concord, and, includ n'g r.M eis?, to give equal and complete protection to every public and private right of person nnd property, i n order that the government, In the hands ol the Democratic party, shu.l jbo the goveritmcnt id' no one section, of no one race, of uo one class, but of the whole people-of South Carolina, with out limitation or restriction. So far as time and opportunity have Admitted, the Democratic party has kept to the letter, and in spirit, every pledge or promise made in the platform of 1S7?. The State officers elected two years ago are again the candidates of the party. With the Diimo platform and tho aamo candi dates, holding beneficent possession of ovory depsrtmont of tho Stato government, the Democracy of South Carolina deserve success and cm com - maud it. Vigilance is necessary. Activo und incessant work is India - pcnsablc. Unity must hi had. Tho* who slumber on in false seenri.y, they who postpone the preparations for the light, they who encourage or permit dissension an 1 d ivision, for any reason or upon any pretext, are as much the public enemies as are the political lepers whom Democratic rule drives into the penitentiary or outofthc State. Malcontents, lag gards, disorganizors .' hall not pull down the Democratic party; although they may multiply its difficulties and make the struggle harder and more desperate. And when the battle is won, as it shall be, the Deinoeratic party, for its own sake, will pass sen tence upon any who, not being with us, are against us, and make them for all time political outcasts, de spised by Democrats of their own race and shunned by the colored Demo crats who have been tried and have kept the faith. For the white Democrat-!, the State Committee aro sure no other exhorta ? tion is needed. They know full well that Democratic rule is worth hav ing, and that what is worth having is worth kocpiug and will bo kept. By the colored Democrats, as tho Stato Committco believe, the s did advan tages of an enlightened and honest government are loroughly approcia tod. They have sicti and felt the difforonco between integrity and rascality, between lofty justice and partisan rule. Tiio lope i- that the colored pcoplo, in larger numbers than ever before, will march bnneath the folds of the Democratic banner, and no assist the Democracy in perfecting the Kork of governmental reform and industrial restoration. The reign of ignorance and vitro in South Carolina is past and gone. Virtue, intelligence and elevated statesmanship shall, as during the la-'t two years, control iho public flairs of South Carolina. For this the people fought in IS7G, ami the sceptre then grasped j for the first time in eight years, by pure and stroi.g hand-.

Gibbs, of Columbia, that the South Carolina Railroad cannot transport the rock necessary for tho Charleston jetties for less than one dollar per ton; and the remaining dollar, in Gen. Gill morc's estimate, will not be sufficient for quarrying, water transportation and placing them in their final beds in the jetties. To obviate the diffi culty and keep the expenditure of the National appropriation within the State, Mr. Gibbs suggests tho pro priety [of re-opening the Santee Canal which will enable tho rock to be transported with only two hand lings, one loading at the quarry and the other unloading at the jetty. The expense of re-opening the canal will nc much less to tho State, than tho loss which will grow out of expend ing the larger portion of the present 320 0,000 and future appropriations out of the State. Tho lower portion of our county will bo interested if it be decided to rc-open tho Santee Ca nal. A New Subscriber. We got a now subscriber Wednes day.

Last Friday morning, Miss Nannio Faulkner, a young lady of Lanfaster, South Carolina, daughter of Mr. S. J. Faulkner, who is visiting tho family of Mr. A. G. Reid in Provi de! ice township, this county, narrow ly escaped death V>y taking a doso of morphia under the impression that it was quinine. Sho was expecting to lnivo a chill on the day nientiouod, und ?rose about ?> o'clock to take the quinine to keep it off. She took a parkugo EYoru the place where tho m dieino was kept, nnd showed it to Mr. Ileifl, who pronounced it qui nine. Boon aJterwards she swallow ed about -i tcaspoonful and in a few moments was overcome with sleep. Fortunately bo mo member of tho family saw the oH'ect tho medicine was having, ami almost immediately it was di covered Unit she had taken i rphia. A messenger was dispatch ed for a physician and the family set themselves to work to keep her from succumbing to the stupefying effects of the. medicine. The physician ar rived in a short time, hut not until her system had Income thoroughly under the influence of the morphia. The only thing that than remained to be done was to keep her awake at all hazards. She was made to walk about the house until she became al most exhausted, when more vinleut means had to he resorted to. Finally the old method which availed, was severe whipping on tho shoulders. This was kept up uutil about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, when tho cft'ecls of the medicine having par tially passed oil', she was allowed to sleep. Tho case was a very alarming one indeed, and required the utmost exer tion of four or five member* of the lamily to prevent iu being fatal. The young lady is ?tili vp.ry much mw. tr[tcd^Von-rthe etlect^of the Cine, but is thought now to be entire ly out of danger.? Charlotte Observer The Times Out of Joint. The people who believe the plan ets have an influence upon the earth will see iu tho dreadful type of fever which is new devastating the South ern States, in the terrific storms which are raging iu the Northern States, in the. unusual heat which has prevailed everywhere for six weeks past, and in the failure, without apparent cause, (.f crops in different sections of tho county, sure indications of con junctions in the planets which are full of peril to the earth. Added to tho foregoing, tho heart' of meu seem _ charged with passions abnormal to men's better natures.
