Tonight is Halloween, and in a
good many families there will be
games and observances of this old
time holiday. Apples are pared, the
parings making initials of loved ones,
nuts are burnt, fortunes are told.
One way of telling fortunes is as fol-
lows: Names are written with q
broad-pointed black pencil on slips of
paper, these folded small, the written
side inward, then inclosed in pellets,
of India meal dough, one in each.
They should be as large as a robins
egg, but perfectly round. When all
are ready, a certain number of balls
containing mems names and like
number with women's names inclosed
are dropped carefully into a broad
basin OF water. In minute they be-
gin to rise, cracking as they come up,
and must be fished out at once, two
together, coupling those that rise
nearest to one another. II the names
thus disclosed are those of man and
a woman, a happy union is foretoldi
il two men pop up side by side, botE
will remain bachelors; if two women
they will die spinsters. Some arise
blank and whole, and refuse to por
after they are up. The persons rep
resented by these are thus adiudgeC
to be unsocial and sullen. Ii tht
names are written in ink the watel
may blur them into illegibility.

W H. W GODDARD, Pisgah Alliance,

W. h. w oodard, Plsgah Alliance,
Brunswick county, says that corn in
that section is badly damaged. Sweet
potatoes are rotting, and that the cot
ton crop is short and the staple dam
aged. His Alliance says that if the
South fails to find a substitute for
jute, to adopt the we'll known bear
grass, it a be grown anywhere.
Bro. W. H. Bost, President Salem
Alliance, No. 442, Rowan county,
gives an encouraging account of the
condition of his Alliance. They have
had considerable opposition, but by
steady purpose and faithful adherence
to the order, they nov feel that they
are on "good trotting@ground." They
are arranging for trading together and
have resolved that there must be some
changes in the methods of weighing
and buying of cotton in our cotton
markets. sReform all along the line /!

OUR INDUSTRIAL CONDITION.

Our able contemporary, the Will
mington Messenger, commenting on
the outlook fol our industrial progress,
remarks:
"There are some passing conditions
affecting our agriculture, of a dis
~couraging and depressing character,
but these are only temporary con-
ditlons, and need not be taken into
serious consideration, only for the
time being. These conditions are
such as belong to the seasons One
or two years of good cropping would
change the entire face of things"
We beg to dissent from the view
that the depressed condition Of agri-
culture is due to the seasons and are
only Temporary" in their character,
and therefore "need not be taken into
serious consideration"
True, a failure in crops has greatly
contributed to an enhancement of the
troubles which confront the farmers,
but this is not only not the chief
trouble, but it is one among the least
of the prominent evils with which he
has to contend. The creditgsystem,
the one-crop system, the mortgage and
lien system, the tenant system, and
greater still, that policy of govern
ment, both State and National, which
allows, if it does not perpetrate, a sys-
tenn of financial piracy by which he is
robbed Of a just and equitable share
of the profits of his labor and is made
to pay an unjust and disproportionate
share towards the support of govern
ment, and corporations-these and
other evils, growing out Of these, are
surely destroying his energies and
eating up his substance. Wind and
tide, the early and the latter rains, the
frost, the drought, all are not to be
compared to the blight which is spread
over this fair land by the hand of
government-protected monopolistic
power.
We know our farmers, many of
them, do not exercise that intelligent
care and economy 10 essential to sue
cess, but we are wearied with the plea

For twenty-three years the farmers
of the South have worked and strug,
gled as no people ever did. They
see every department of human effort
prosper1ng and hourishing while they
are going down. They know and we
know that there are other causes for
this than bad seasons or laziness, and
they have organized the Alliance to
ferret out these causes and to apply
the remedy. They will prosecute the
search with terrible earnestness and
