We have been informed that the para
graph from the Press and Banner about Maj.
Whitner has induced the opinion that he
declines to be candidate for the Senate in
this election. Such is not the case. Hede-
clines at present to enter the canvass, but
later in the campaign he may consent to
run. We make the correction because we
do not wish to produce false impression as
to the matter,
We regret to announce the death Of Mrs.
Ann Rogers, widow of the late John P.

and her death is mourned by number of
relatives and friends.

Some of the ladies of the Episcopal
Church are arranging for rendition of the
Cantata-"The Haymakers''-in Anderson,
for the benefit of the Episcopal parsonage.
The entertainment viii be given on the
evenings of the Goth and 21st of June inst.
From the experience and past success of
the ladies who have this entertainment in
charge, the people of Anderson may rely
upon very pleasant evenings if they go out

At a meeting of the members of the Pres
byterian Church at this place, on last Fri
day morning, it was resolved to build
new house of worship, to replace the present
edifice, which is too small to accommodate
the congregations which attend religious
services there. The necessary means are
being rapidly raised, and it is expected that
the construction of the new Church will be-
gin very soon. 1t will probably be hand
some and commodious brick structure.
Telephone experiments continue in An
derson. Mr.. ]. A. Daniels has the most
successful one from his office OH the square
to his residence one or two hundred yards
distant. Brass wire is the connecting link,
and it works elegantly. Persous at one
end of the line can converse with each
other, recognizing even the voice. Music
is heard distinctly, and the instrument east
ly distinguished. The ACCORDION is the
clearest and sweetest instrument for this
purpose.
