A Maryland Mothers Appeal to Her
Son.
What the Election Of Roosevelt Would
Mean TO the White Women of the
South.

From the New York Herald of October 25.
To tie Editor Of tie Herald:
People In the North, where the negro is
an Insignificant quantity, are apt TO sniff
contemptuously at Southern criticism of
President Roosevelt for his attitude toward
the negro, and do not realize the feeling of
horror which a Southerner experiences over
my act of the President which helps the
negro, as a class, to "leel his oats"
The consequences Of Mr.. Roosevelt's sim
gle act Of having Booker Washington sit
down to meat with his family have been felt
in parts Of the South, especially the border
States, ever since. The negro has grown In.
subordinate, and In the city of Baltimore
women who employ negro servants have
been simply tyrannized by them.
Here is little picture OF conditions in
Maryland which is contained In a letter
from my mother, received yesterday. 1t Is
in answer to one of mine intimating that
might vote for Roosevelt:
My Dear Son. not sacrifice your
principles because some person you call
your friend has drawn different picture Of
Roosevelt from the true one. Ii he is elected
God only knows what the Southern people
will do with the negroes. They are inso.
lent enough now, and Southern women
dread any possibility of further encourage.
ment from the White House. You will re.
member my writing you Immediately after
the Booker Washington incident about see.
ing big negro wench deliberately plant
herself in whites woman's lap In a street
car and force her to give up her seat. Well,
this happened yesterday.
was in crowded car on my way down
to Lexington street when big negro boarded
1t. He deliberately showed aside the women
who were holding on to the straps and made
his way down TO the other end, where a
delicate. looking boy was seated. The negro
gave look about, as II to say ~ dare any
body to stop me-" and deliberately sat down
on the boy. Nobody could do anything.
The negro was undoubtedly armed, as most
Of them of his type are, and If the poor boy
had resisted there might have been horrible
consequences.
Such incidents are happening frequently.
Where there are only afew negroes, of course
1t is different. am sure that any such in
cident in New York would have very
prompt and satisfactory sequel. But here,
where the numbers of the two races are so
nearly even, l tell you it will soon be I'm.
possible for decent woman to live with
any hope Of safety from insult or with the
fear removed Of danger OF something far
worse.
Yes, my son, you may vote for Roosevelt,
fyou choose, but do you not think that you
owe something to your mother and sister ?
For myself, pray that Parker will be elect.
ed, and the prayers of thousands of South.
ern women are TO the same effect.

1--WE OBJECT of this suit is to procure q
Il sale OF the real estate situate in the coun-
| ty OF Montgomery and State Of MARYLAND. oil
which George W ebster, late of said county.
died seized and possessed, in order that the
proceeds OF such sale may be distributed
| among the parties t. this cause according To
their several interests therein,
The bill alleges that the said George Web.
ster departed this life at said county iutest-
ate, seized and possessed Of two parcels OF
land, situate in said county and lying conti0-
uous to each other, together containing thir-
teen acres, more or less, which he obtained
from William V. Bouic, Trustee, by deed
dated the 22nd day of May, A. D. 1867, and
recorded among the Land Records of said
Montgomery county in Liber E. B. p, No, g.,
folios 407, &c, and other lands situate in said
county.
That the said George Webster left him sur
viving the following named children, who
are his only heirs-at-lsw, and as such now
the owners as tenants-in-common of all of
said lands of which the said George Webster
died seized and possessed, viz the plaintiffs,
Sarah e. LaDomus, Georgia A. Sherrer, Al
ice v. Whip, Harvey e. Webster and George
7. Webster, and the defendant, Macie B. An
derson.
That in addition to the children above
named che said George Webster was the father
Of one other child, named Charles W. Web
ster, who, after he arrived at his majority,
left home about seventeen years since, and has
not since been seen or heard from by the
| plaintiffs, and as far as they are informed he
has not since been heard from by any OF his
relatives or friends, and that the plaintiffs
therefore believe and charge that the said
Charles W. Webster is dead
That the said real estate is not susceptible
OF partition without material loss or injury
to the parties entitled TO interests therein, as
above stated, and that, in order to make d.
vision OF said interests, it will be necessary
