Mr. Isaac Appelt, Manning, S. C. Dear Sir: I unierstand that some of the stockholders of the Manning Hotel Company are saying that I did not act fail'ly in purchasing the mortgage on the property. They certainly do not understand the facts. When default in payment was made I waited about a year before proceed ing, and then only after the president of the company assured me that he saw no probability of the company ever paying me and advised me to foreclose. Before the mortgage sale was made, I stated to a number of per sons in Manning that any one who bid to the amount dcue me would get the property. My attorney was in structed to bid no more than the amount to cover my claims. After the saie I repeated the same offer for six months. I did not want any hotel property. But then was the property uncompleted, exposed to the elements, and expenses piling up. So last July a contract was made to finish the building, and I am informed that it is completed, and that it will, furnish Manning one of the most complete hotels in any of the smaller towns of the State. Now, to assure you and all the oth er stockholders that I wish to be ab solutely fair, I mlake them, or any of them, the following offer, which holds good to December 1, 1922: Upon payment of $500 I will give a thirty day's option to sell the pro perty for exactly what it stands me in. The only payment made me on the mortgage was the interest for the first six months. My offer then must pay following: Mortgage, $20,000; accumulated interest to Jan. 1, 1923; expenses incidental to foreclosure; in surance, taxes, etc., I have paid; ex penses incidental to finishing of the hotel; and any other expenses actually incurred, and at this writing I do not recall anly. In other words, my offer permits the stockholders to reposses the property upon complying with the conditions as stated in this mortgage to me, and in addition paying for cost of completing the hotel according to their plans. The hotel was completed unler direction of their architect and his plans. The stockholders will get. the benefit of the $500 cash payment made me and of whatever amount the company expended onl the building be fore becoming insolvent. -I am not asking a cent of profit on account of this misfortune---only that I he paid what the mortgage calls for and what I have expended in completing the huilding. Of' cour-e ib is oifer not made to the public. It is only to the stock holderls, but toi aniyone or' all of the. stock holders. Ifr not n'ce'pted( by D~ec. 1, 1922, the offer is withdrawn. If an option (If 30 days tromi D ec. 1 st is not long~ enough, then for $1 ,00t I wvill give an option)1 of dit days fronm Dec4. 1, 1 922.

I will also say that. I' am willing to give terms. As this is a public matter, and as it seems some who do not understand how unkindly they criticised ma, I would appreciate it if, in any event, you print this letter in the next issue of your paper.

Korea, the condition of the '7,000 Itussian r9fu goes at Gensan is pitiable, according to arrivals fron there. Those ashore sleep on the bare ground or under clapboard sheds while the crowding aboard the ships in the aihir is rem iniscent of the floating hells of the old galley slave days and the Aus tralian convict hulks. Aboard the El Dorado, an old 1,200 ton vessel, more than 1,000 men are herded. They sleep seven men to the birth taking two hour turns at lying down. At Gensan the severerly wounded among'the Valdivostok exile, are seg regated, but the convalescent and ail ing are crowded with the rest. The sanitary arrangements are so inade quate that an epidemic seems certain. The provisions of the ships are about exhausted. Men are offering to work for a pound of black bread and a cup of ten, but no work is available. Chang Tso-Lin, the military dicta tor of Manchuria, stil refuses the re fugees passage through Manchuria. Local authorities at Gensan are un able to fix a time for the refugee and departure. Meanwhile the destitute Russians are selling their paltry ef fects to obtain food. Onl, of their of ficers committed suicide. FOR PERMANENT RELIEF Washington, Nov. 20.-The Asso ciation of Owners of Railroad Secur ities renewed its efforts today to have the Interstate Commerce Commission take steps toward establishment of permanent relief from railway car shortages. In a letter to Commission er Atchison, commissioner of the car service division, of the commission, S. Davies Warfield, the association's president, declared that so long as present conditions respecting the in terchange of cars continue, private operations of the railroads "is endan gered." The letters adverts to the appli cation of the Union Pacific to the commission, asking it to us its emergency powers to supply that railroad with cars consistent with the roads car ownership. "If additional evidence were re quired," The Warfield letter says, "to demonstrate the inadequacy of present railroad methods in respect to interchange of car equipment and the necessity of the pooling of interchange freight cars, the appli cation of the Union Pacific sup lilies it, being unwilling to entirely rely on the competency of the rail roal's own agency to supply cars."
