A Card of Thanks.
Laurens, S. c., July 16. 1905

Laurens, S. c., July 16, 1908.
To the Editor of The Advertiser.
Dear Sir: Please allow me space in
your valuable paper to express the pro-
found gratitude of myself and the Off
GERS and members of Bethel A. M. E..
church to the firemen and white citizens
of Laurens for assistance rendered us
on the 18th day of July in trying to
save our church building from destruc.
tion in conhagration caused by light
ming striking the steeple of the church.
'Tis true the church building was
burned to the ground and we suffered
a great loss, yet it was no fault of any
one of our fellow citizens. We do thank
you one and all for the uniform good
spirit of assistance shown us in contri-
buttons and expressions of sympathy
for our relief.
In expressing our profound gratitude
to the white neighbors among whom we
live we are not unmindful of the great
help and sympathy of our own race
who worked hard and faithful to extin-
guish the flames and save the property.
May the choicest blessings of Great
God ever rest upon all of the people of
Laurens, both white and colored, is the
sincere prayer of Bethel members and
pastor.
We beg to thank you, the citizens of
Laurens and of South Carolina and
elsewhere, in advance for any and all
further assistance you may render us,
financially or otherwise, in completing
our new house of worship which is now
in course of erection. We are out of a
house for worshipping now. Please help
us in the name of the Lord. Contribu-
tions may be left with j. S. Hunter or
G. b. White or to the undersigned pas
tor.
We render special praise and heart
felt thanks to his honor the mayor, al
dermen and officers of city council,
chief and force for special considera-
tions shown us.
Respectfully,
F. Y. DENDY,
Pastor.

Clever English Invention

After eight years experimenting at a
heavy expense and against many dis
coura gements, machine has been per-
fected by a mechanic and a lace manu-
facturer of Nottingham. England, for
spotting veflings with chenille. The
machine, it is claimed. will do in a
few minutes what would require
months of handwork. The chenille
used in spotting is made in lengths
and is cut off as each spot Is inserted
into the yelling. In a frame over the
new machine are placed as many
lengths of chenille as are required for
the width of the yelling. The chenille
passes down into the machine, which
inserts and cuts it automatically as the
yelling passes through the machine.
The machine is adjustable so that the
spots may be in rows of absolute uni
formity, or by an automatic shifting
device the spots may be placed in vary
ing rows. A final triumph has been
gained in machine with jacquard ap-
pliances, which can spot veilings in any
design suitable to the gage of the ma
chine. The designs are. of course,
quickly changeable. Ave minutes suf-
ficing to substitute one set of cards for
another.
All the present machines are mar
row, and comparatively small, yet the
production of one OF them, on a close
set out, is stated to be nearly zoe. 900
spots an hour. As such machines may
be widened almost indefinitely, their
possible achievements are beyond con-
ception. 1t would seem that they might
revolutionize the entire industry OF
spotting fabrics of every kind-From
