colored Postmasters in Maryland.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
see 1t stated by the press generally that
Andrew J. Day. who was recently appoint
ed postmaster of Buindocquin. Somerset
county, Nd, was the first colored man
ever appointed postmaster in that state.
This is not true. Mat Thomas was APP
pointed postmaster at the post office at
Mount Zion. large colored settlement In
Montgomery county. in tine sixth con-
gressional district, in 1887. In 1901 John
A. Hicks, colored, was appointed postmas-
ter of Ounce Orchard. in Montgomery
county. and served till May. 1902, when he
was removed for cause. I was told on In
quiry in the vicinity of that Office. These
were not salaried offices. / learned last
year that there was colored woman post
master somewhere in Prince Georges coun-
ty, in the fifth congressional district, but
can only speak of this without a personal
knowledge of the facts in the case as I
never had occasion to inquire into the
truth of the matter Investigation might
show others in the state.
