For Incorporation by
 Overwhelming Maiorit,

The City of Capitol Heights greets you!
 Not suburbanites. but urbanitea: not somi-ruraI populace. but citizens Of a real. live city are the inhabitants or that district just east of Montgomery. known as Capitol Heights.
 The people of capttoi Heights were so urgently desirous of possessing a municipal individuality, that eighteen of them voted for incorporation of the community as a town, when tlIe eIec- ton was held Friday. and none voted against it. Eighteen to nothing, an overwhelming majority. was the vote for incorporation.
 And now this community. with q vot- ing strength of IS. and a population of probably several hundred, needs but the proclamation of Judge Gaston to become incorporated fast and true, and for the people to enter upon the duties and. trials of citizenship.
 The vote was returned to the office of the Probate Judge late Friday after noon, and it is the plausible course that Judge Gaston, upon canvasstng the vote, will issue a proclamation of incorporation. and declare Capitol

Piccaninny Throws Brick
 And Golfers Glue Chase

Whether golf is the great exercise it is claimed to be, is doubted by several citizns of Montgomery since an incident Friday evening in which a Scotchman, q street car, and pickaninny were the principals.
 1, The street car was on its way from the Country Club with a bunch of golf enthusiasts on board As 1t topped the hill coming in, on the city side of the car sheds, little negro ran up to 1t, drew back his arm and sent brick-bat crashing through a glass. The missile shattered the pane and landed heavily in the seat opposite the broken window, which a few moments before had been vacated by two ladies.
 The occupants of the car were indig- nant. John 1ngles, manager of the Country Club, and H. L. Kealhofer, a very prominent citizen, gave chase J..
