Representatives of Industrial
Concerns Address Citizens
After Luncheon

Another large aSSemblage of bus
mess and professional men enjoyed the
Chamber Of Commerce luncheon yes
terday noon.
After the food for the alleviatiOn
of that gaunt look that most Of the
lusty trenchermen brought to the club
rooms had been successfully slowed
away, the manufacturers were called
upon to provide Il little food for
thought. and their message, though
short. was most interesting one.
Frank Fountain, as chairman of the
committee in charge, first introduced
f. f. Carson, 500 Line agent who gave
some interesting figures. In 1916,
6,319 full carloads were shipped into
Ladysmith, 90 per cent of which was
raw materials for our manufacturers.
In 1920. 1924 cars were shipped into
this city. with about the same percent
age being OF raw materials These
figures take no account of anything
but carload shipments. Cars forward
ed from Ladysmith in 1920 were f.
526. as compared with 3.d79 in 1919, 4
very satisfactory increase.
In 1913, earnings of the Ladysmith
station were S462O00; in 1910, s5;'S.=
600. while in 1920 the earnings amount
ed to $645, 107, or 80 per cent increase
over 1913.
Mr.. Fountain, before introducing Il.
S. Johnson stated that the payroll OF
the manufacturing plants in Lady
smith amounted to $4,000 month.
Mr.. Johnson spoke of Ladysmith's
rapid growth and improvement,
brought about to large extent by the
industries that located here. He
showed very clearly in the brief time
at his disposal how important it was
to Ladysmith and the Menasha Wood
en- Ware Co, which he represented. to
have transfer connection made be-
tween the 500 and Omaha railways
at the junction at Lexington. The 500
Lines attitude in this matter has been
very hostile to what is vital need
for Ladysmith and Mr.. Johnson eX-
pressed surprise that the railroad COM
pany should show such a disposition

told of the timber holdings which the
NJ. W. w. Co. would like to ship to

Harry Ballon was next called upon
and stated that the manufacturers
were anxious to cooperate with the
business men in building up the city
and asked for a full measure OF coop
Grafton in return.
r. NJ. Thomas spoke briefly as the
representative of the LadySmith Chair

that the company had noticed decid-

tions. The cOmpany's statesmen were
finding it much easier to get good Or

court directed that a grave mound, 200

that Yih- -Woo-Zoong invaded the
premises under controversy and
erected a bamboo fence around Ger
tain graves thereon, asserting that
the place was his ancestral burying
ground.
The plaintiff claimed the property
as his own by ancestral grant.
When the grave mounds were
opened there We're brought to light
the tablets of a Chinese and his wife
who had lived and died under the
reign of the Emperor k'anC Hsi.
When the tablets Were brought to

instead of from top to bottom, but the
linking was clear and the plaques were
well preserved.
After the reading of the tablets the
court announced the graves as those
of the defendants family, and Sung'S
