In that case it should be thoroughly

NO COFFINS TO BURY DEAD.
England Urges Compulsory Gre
nation to Protect Health.

A recent dispatch from London
says: A new public danger threatens
England in the difficulties Of bury
ing the dead. 1t is caused by the
scarcity Of undertakers, coffin max
ers and grave diggers and has re-
suited in delaying funderals for days,
a condition which if aggravated by
an epidemic would become very seri-
Gus. To forestall that danger and
also to remedy the present situation
compulsory cremation is being ad-
vocated.
The tribunals which sit in all parts
of the country and hear appeals for
exemption from military service
have pressed into military service
every man whose work is not india-
pensable to the existence of the na-
ton. The result is that they have
"combed out" the undertaking
trade, and taken most of the skilled
grave-diggers for another sort of
digging.
1t seems also that the shortage Of
coffins is countrywide. The heal
of the largest undertaking firm in
London which used to turn out be-
tween 600 and 700 coffins week
says that to add to the difficulties
the railroad authorizes have made
new regulation that nothing is to be
sent over 1l2 pounds by passenger
train. This means that coffins with
a few exceptions will have to be
shipped on freight trains. Bodies"
he said, are waiting at every Lon
don station for hours for lack of la.
Dor to fetch them away"
The Daily Mail has taken the lead
in the campaign for cremation. 1t
also sees danger in too many cem-
eteries. 1T will have to extend at
once to compulsory cremation. and
eventually to the wider and even
more important consideration of the
ever-growing encroachment of Gem.

DROUGHT DAMAGES CROPS.
Synopsis of Weather and Crop COndi-
tiOnS i'm South Carolina for The
Wck Ending September II, 1917.

Columbia, Sept. 12.-Persistent dry
weather during the week, broken only
by occasional local showers and
thunderstorms i'm a few scattered Sec
tiOns, was generally unfavorable for
crops. Cotton continued to open
rapidly and picking was being pushed
vigorously i'm all sections except the
extreme northern counties. Lack of
sufficient rainfall caused material de-
terioration, with much complaint of
rust and shedding, especially i'm the
eastern and north central counties,
where estimated damage amounts to
approximately twenty per cent. of the
anticipated crop. Corn is practically
all matured, with little or no damage
from drought. The crop generally is
reported to be the best i'm many
years. Planting of fall crops has be-
gun, and fall Irish potatoes are up in
Southern counties. Sweet potato
digging continues, with good yields.
Fruit is becoming very scarce.
