A. Johnston. A decided change itbitk 1 made in the original- plan as to Hj'tV elevation, the latter being, re- ujced about 14 inches below- that contemplated in Lbe original plan. Only about 2,000 yards of dirt will now have to be removed, as against a possible 4,000 under the former Dlan. Not only time and labor but money also will be saved. , The present spell of bad weather which set in yesterday may aeiay things somewhat, but It is not viewed with any great amount of discom fiture by those in charge of the work. The latter itself will not take a very great amount ot time, if everything goes welL It is still believed that the whole will be completed by the 1st of April, although that lsot as far off . as It has been. rXIFORMS ARE ORDERED. (Twelve Suits of Each of Two Kinds Selected Will Be Here In Plenty ,oX Time.

White with blue trimmings will be the home unirorm, the trim mings including hose and cap. The letter "C" will be on the shirt pocket. The road uniform, to oe used on dia- monda other than the local ground, will be navy blue, with the same trimmings as the other. Twelve suits of each kind were ordered and will be here soon. Across the breast of the road uniform the word "Charlotte" will appear. Judging from the advance descrip tions, (the Charlotte lads will be a husky set. which will present a formidable appearance . In any pres ence. , CHARME SMITH TO TWTRJ China Grove Artist Will Pitch For Charlotte In the Carolina League, Manager Reynolds ' yesterday sent the regulation contract to Charles Smith, the well-known China Grove pitcher, for his signature.
