HOW A CAMPAIGN
IS MANAGED,
The Immense Amount Of Detail Pre-
llmlnary to tie Great Presi-
dential Elections.

The ordinary citizen who has little
knowledge. OF political affairs has only
the vaguest kind of an idea as to the
detail in the machinery Of the manage
! ment of a Presidential campaign For
some reason it has come to be supposed
that Presidential election is a sponta-
! neous outburst of favor on the part of
the people and it is not improbable that
this description might have been applied
to elections half a century or so ago.
OF late years there has been great
change in things political until to-day,
when the machinery that must be put
in motion before campaign can be car
ried out is as complicated and as exact
in every detail as if the work to be
done was that of great railroad system.
1t was not many years ago when
money was not as necessary in the con-
duct of campaign as it is to-day. A
certain amount of money was, of course,
requisite, but beyond that nothing was
needed, and the chairman of committees
even twenty-five years ago would not
have known how to get rid of the i'm
AAShoS uAIAOuAlo VI ludL Ill III"
expended in the carrying out of a Presi-
Genital campaign.
In 1864, when there was grave doubt
as to the reelection of Lincoln. consider
able money was subscribed, so much that
politicians everywhere regarded the fund
with amazement, and yet the sum that
was at the disposal Of Henry J. Ray
mond, the committee chairman, at this
| time would seem ridiculously small tc
campaign managers to-day.
Prior to the Lincoln campaign money
had received comparatively little atten.s
ton. but since that time it has entered
more and more into politics. When the
first step was taken the way was opened
for scores of innovations and improve
ments in the political machinery that
little by little have brought it to its
present state of comparative perfection,
and some idea of the extent of this i'm
provement may be gathered from the
fact that whereas it was possible to
carry on the Grant campo ign by the ex-
penditure of less than S2OO,OO it is
safe to say that the campaign of 1896
cost the Republican party and the Demo-
Gratis not less than $4,OOO,OOO, all told,
all Of which was devoted to legitimate
expenses.

We urge the teachers of the schools

their schools into working commit
tees, each committee having a certain
work to do. Let one committee lay
out the grounds Immediately around
the school into suitable walks and
beds, another committee to get
parents to pillow or spade up the
grounds and plant GOV peas, 81 as to
get it into shape to plant grass in
the fall. Some of the plots can be
planted to shrubs and flowers, as
some flowers and shrubs will live
even in the hottest weather of sum-

to protect them from the sun for a

No. It is too far for them to go to

SEPARATING HIGH SCHOOLS FROM PUB
Lie SCHOOLS.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
While the school questions are be-
ing discussed, I would like to say a
word through your columns to those
who have control of our public school
system in North Carolina because
there is a great mistake being made
in the distribution OF our school
money. D." who wrote to your
paper a few day ago, certainly sees
this evil and partly expresses it to
the public. 1t has long been evident
to those living in the interior that
public schools and high schools
should not be run in company. The
bane of our school system in North
Carolina will never be righted till
these schools are separated.
Wherever there is a little village
of any size a high school is started.
Now this is we'll enough SO far, but
it does not stop here. Whenever
this high school is started, the men
who are interested in it try to stop
all the country schools" round
about. When this is done the money
which is intended for, and which
should be used in the education of
the poorer labOrers of the farms in
the interior is concentrated and put
into the so-called high school to build
it up, and no thought is taken, by
those that do it, how many children
they thus deprive Of an education.
High schools are all right in their
places, but public schools should not
be run in them.
The writer knows of several such
cases. One in particular shows the
harm done by such an arrangement.
In a little town a high school was
started, and with it an effort to break
up all the rural district schools, and
compel their pupils to attend and
help swell this high school. To
some extent this was accomplished.
Then there were children who, if
they got any school, had to walk 3
and 4 miles for it. Many were thus
cut off from the school, for there
were other barriers in the way be-
sides the distance-creeks, swamps
and lots of mud. This was too bad
in the summer, not to mention the
winter, when the school was run.
Enough were collected in and around
the town to more than fill two spa
ci0us rooms. They were so crowded
that study was almost an impossi-
bility. The teacher could scarcely
ever get all their studies in one day.
And could never give them the proper
time. So much money thrown into
one place did not increase the school
term. But let US see if it did any
good. The school was taught in with
the high school, and was not started
till December in order that the
public money might last till the high
school was out, thereby keeping a
few in to help swell the parade at
the annual commencement. By
thus running the public school into
the working season, many were
obliged to stop. And the last month
