j,eV 5ir. Kin?, of the Southern

liaaia fox a few day a past, con
(oltin the architect relative to
offiecbangc3 iu the original plans
flf the buildings which it' has been
tbouabt aiivi s:ble to cnaue. It has
been on account of. these proposed
changes that the work has been de.
jsVedon the groun is here. After
thLtus had been adopted, the
board saw wnere imprcyemenis
could be made, and the architect has
now embodied them in the revised
piI15. M r. King is expected ' in
Charlotte within the next ten days,
then the, work will be . commenced
with a3 little delay as possible.
The excavations for the founda-r
tioQ lints bave already been dug,
4nd these will not be materially
changed. It is.reasonably sure that
the college buildings will be ready
or the proposed openiugof the big
btitution next October. The
committee on ouilding wants to be
tight and to make no mibtake at the
t'art, and in this the members have
displayed sound judgement; Once
the work begins it will be poshed
rapidly to a finish, and next Octo
ber will see a cluster of - magnificent
buildings on the wooded "hill over
looking' Charlotte from the east.

PreC,nS Sf1,al1 opnllst Vote for
Rcpnbiicans Iu Hhe" Xlith; Elituh,
Fifth and Second.
A post-mortem examination of
the election returns disclose some
nteresting facts. These returns
show that in the five congressional
districts carried by the ropulists tne
otal vote received; by the Populist
candidates was 99.531. Tn tha.
districts McKinley received 77,179
votes. It is fair to assume that
75,000 of these votes were ca3t by
cpuuHi;ijs ior iae ropnust canal-
dares. In return for th nnn
Republican votes it appears that trie
Populists gave Pearson, in " tho
ninth, 140 votes ; Llnuey, in the
eighth, 750 votes ; Settle, in the
fif ih, none ; White, in the. second,
none. In other words, in carrying
out the "arrangement" made by the
to State committees, the Populists
received 75 000 votes from Renub-
licansi, and gaveTn return less ; thin
1,000 votes. - :
These-returns also show that if
each of the three -parties had nomi
nated straight tickets in each of the
congressional districts every Popu ¬
list candidate would have been da
featedy more than 5,000 plurality,
and that the Republicans would
have carried the first;' third and
sixth districts, and the Democrats
would have carried the fourth and
i
seventh districts, making the rep re
8ehtatioh stand in the Fifty-fifth
m
Congress six Republicans and three
Democrats. '
If these? facts have no inflaence
upon the present si nation, they
may be profitable in sharjinfi: the
make-up of future "arrangements '
