Address ol tho State Democratic
Executive CommiUee.
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-.
Will not be laid down, and shall not
be wrested away.

It is thought by J. O. 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

at the door, ho sidled in, took off his
hat, and askod :
'Is di? do newspaper shop?'
We told him it was.
'An' is you do boss (o'oman ob de

We satisfied our colored visitor on
that point also, and he continued :
'I fetch in soul cotton today, an' I

'Two dollars a year.'
'All do same price? Let me ob

We handed him a paper, and he

critically on both. side?.
'Looks like dar war sight o' lot

'She's' piety hot ain't she ?'said a
backwoods passenger, addressing the
I engineer of a Mississippi Btoamcr,
that was racing with another boat
'So, so/ responded the engineer, as
ho hung an addition wrench on the
safety valve o">rd to prevent the steam
from escaping.
I reckon we'll overtake that craft
soon,' pursued the passenger.
'That's about it,' returned tho en
gineer, giving tho cords another twich
and hallooing through tho trumpet
! to the fireman to 'shove her up.'
I 'One hundred and ninoty-five,' hum
med the passenger, looking first at
the gauge and then at thebnilcrs.
! 'That's about where she's rusticat
ing,' put in the engineer.
Then the passenger ran Iii- fingers
through his hair nervously, an 1 walk ?
ed about the decks lor a few minutes,
when ho came back to to the mgi
ueer and observed: 'Hadn't you
better let that boat so ?'
'Can't do it; must pusi her.'
'But s'poscn we should blow up?'
'Well,' said the engineer, a" he
peeped over the guard to see how i'a-t
he was gaining, 'if it's tho will of
Providence for this boat to blow up,
we'll have to stand It* Thou lie hal
looed to the fireman io roll up anoth
er cn>k of bacon, and to mix plenty of
rosin with the .1 and give her a
little moro turpintinc rvud oil.
Thcnext moment there was a splosh
beard in the river; but boforo tho
yard could be lowered, the man had
succeeded in reaching the shore and
hallooed out:
'Go on with the race. I guess I'll
walk !'
A shooting affray occurred on Sun
day last at Mount Olive (colored
Church, in Ncwberry county, near tho
Laurcns Railroad, in which four ne
groes were wounded, and none killed .
Tho difficulty was confined exclusive

Last Friday morning, Miss Nannio

J. Faulkner, who is visiting tho
family of Mr. A. G. Reid in Provi
de! ice township, this county, narrow
