Sad Death Of Mrs. E. J. Mundy

Sunday morning about three o.
clock the spirit of our beloved friend,
Mrs. Matte Mundy passed into the
great beyond, very unexpectedly to
her husband and her three little sons,
Ebert, Truman and John.
Mrs. Mundy had been frail in
health for number of years, but
had resolution to continue a useful
and helpful life to her family and
friends and had spent several weeks
on more than one occasion in the
Hospital with the hope of becoming
strong and well. Since her last visit
to the hospital, she had been greatly
benefited and her family believed
she was much better than she had
been in many years, having attend
ed her church the Sunday before her
death, and expressed the hope that
she might be able to do SO every Sun
day.
Mrs. Mundy had retired on Satur-
day night about 9 o'clock in her u
sual health except for an asthmatic
trouble to which she was subject. At
8 80 Mr.. Mundy hearing an unusual
noise, called Mrs. Mundy and receiv-
ing no reply, found that she was un-
conscious. Summoning her physician
every thing was done, but no human
relief availed anything.
At one o'clock on Monday the cas-
ket containing the remains of this
loved mother, companion and friend,
was carried into the church at Anti
och, where she had so long been the
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1919-01-08

organist and helper in the church be-
fore the removal of the family to
Edgefeld. Here many friends from
the community had gathered to do
honor to her memory and all the fam
lily VINO loved her. The services were
conducted oy her pastor, Rev. R. 6.
Lee.
A number of beautiful floral Of
ferings were placed upon the casket,
which was lowered in the earth be-
side the graves Of her two little chill
drcn and her mother.
Her husband, Mr.. E. J. Mundy,
who has been characterized in all the
community by his devotion to his
wife, is left to mourn her loss. He
said that her life had preached a
more forceful sermon to :lim than all
the preaching he had overheard, and
what greater tribute could be paid
to any life than that-and there are
the three sons who have great heri-
tage in the life Of such Il mother.
Her only sister is Mrs. Frank West
who lives near Antioch Church.
Mrs. Mundy was a member of the
Baptist Church at Edgefield and the
Mission Society and the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union and it
is sad that all these earthly tics must
be broken. She was my friend and l
loved her, and we will meet again.

Finegan in complete control of the
educational system, another bill
which is on the desk of the Gov
ernor makes him the chief execu-
tive officer of the State Board of
Education. Heretofore the State
Board of Education and the Super
intendent of Public instruction were
working along separate lines. An
other bill to assist in the reorgan-
ization of the department provides
that one of the deputy superintend-
ents shall be paid $500 and the
other deputy $4,000 a year. The
Governor has announced that DR..
]. George Becht, Secretary of the
State Board of Education, is to be-
come the first assistant to DR.. Fine
gan.
In addition to the usual large ap-
preparation Pennsylvania makes to
her schools, this Legislature has
made available $8,400.0O0 to be
spent in the next two years in in
creasing the salaries of the teach
ers of the public schools. Generally
speaking, a sum equal to this will
be paid by the school districts for
the same purpose. The measure to
carry out this plan is the Woodruff
bill which is now on the desk of the
Governor. 1t fixes minimum salaries
at $50, $40 and $50, according to
the grade Of certificate held by the
teacher The bill requires school dis
tricts to pay the minimum salaries.
In first class districts school nurses
share in the increase.
In order to make it possible for

fifty basis with the State, the tax

or all of them to carry on such por-
tions of the work as he may direct.
Great Highway Program
The accomplishment which seems
the largest in the Sproul administra-
tion is the work being done in the
Highway Department. AS a Senator,
Governor Sproul was the father of
the great roads movement in Penn
sylvania. and now that it is within
his power to work out his plans, he
is bending every effort to the task.
1t is generally agreed that his ap-
pointment of Lewis s. Sadler, as
Commissioner of Highways, could
not have been improved upon. The
Legislature has given him all of the
necessary legislation for the reor-
ganization of the department in or
der to bring it to the highest stand
ard of efficiency.
AT the same election in which
Governor Sproul was chosen, the
voters of the State approved the
$50,000,000 road bond issue. The
Governor saw to it that the first ad-
ministration legislation provided the
necessary laws for the Inauguration
of the greatest road-building pro-
gram ever undertaken by any State.
Included in this was the bill for the
sale of the bonds. This week bids
100000 of this paper, and the high
est bidder offered almost 103.53,
which brings in a premium of S423,-
40. The necessary sinking fund leg
islation for The interest and retire.
ment of the bonds has been pro-
Vided.
During the next two years the
department will have available for
construction and maintenance $61,-
1900, of which almost $4,000
600 will be used in construction. In
the two years $30,000,000 of the
bond money is to be spent. From
the Federal government the State
will receive in that period over $10,-
$4,000. The maintenance fund is
figuring on receiving $1,000, 900
from motor license fees. In the four
years the State will have over $780,
100000 to spend in roads. At the
same time at least a score of coun-
ties will be expending the proceeds
of large highway bond issues they
are floating.
There are now 1,400 miles of i'm
proved roads on Pennsylvania pri-
mary highway system. During the
next two years Commissioner Sad
Ter expects to add to this 1900
miles, making a total of 1900 miles
and during the same period coun-
ties will be constructing highways
which will connect with these main
routes of the State. At the end of
the Sproul administration the mile
age of improved roads in Pennsyl-
Vania will be far in excess of that of
any other Commonwealth.
Public Schools
Following the death of DR.. Nathan
Z. Schaeffer. Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction, Governor SprouI
started the reorganization of the
educational department and he ex-
poets to make it one of the most
efficient in the United States. After
lengthy search for a man to head
the department he secured the serv-
ices of DIR. Thomas E. Finegan, long
prominent in the educational work
OF New York State.
The salary nj superintendent of
Public Instruction had been SIS. 900
a year, but in order to secure man
OF proper type, the Legislature. at

Isn't that a fair offer? Can you see
any deceit about it? What chance do
you take? Absolutely none.
Then get e bottle of Rheuma today.
It's a reputable physicians prescrip-

cotics, and perfectly harmless.
Rheuma acts on the kidneys and

makes you hopeful and happy in a

legislation, was not allowed to enter
at this session.
"A statement issued by Chairman
McCaig shows the total appropria-
tions of the Legislature to be $104,-
$77,715.1S. as against about $S6,000,-
600 two years ago. With possible
revenues of at least $105, 100000 for
the next two years, Mr.. McCaig eX-
poets the bills will be approved
about as they were sent to the Gov
ernor The important items which
go to make up the total of more than
S104, 100000 are:
General Appropriation bill, S44,1SS,-
193.4S; bills already approved by the
Governor. $17,269, ,S01.01; State institu-
tions. S7.364,337.9S semi-State insti-
tutions, $1,7O3,s5O; hospitals, $685.
500; sanatoria, $167,700: homes, S1,209,-
OS5.64: higher education. s3,S94,713.57 ;
teachers salary increases and miscellan-
eous matters, S21,93S,227.50. The gen.
eral appropriation bill carries the money
to run the various branches of the
government and the schools.
Snyder"s Good Work
The increased revenues are due to
the vigorous and scientific manner in
which Auditor General Charles A. Sny-
der has conducted his office. His col
lection of taxes has far exceeded all
predecessors. He is figuring on collec-
tions of more than s47,000.000 this year.
Legislation he had had passed is eX-
pected to greatly increase these figures
in the near future.
Teachers Salaries
At an early hour this morning
the conference report on the
teachers salary increase bill was put
through both branches. There was
some disposition by men from small
counties to question the legislation, but
Mr.. Flynn's explanation was convincing
and the measure went through. 1t is a
big question and will take time to adjust
all of the various angles. In its final

proud of the fact they followed his
lead.
Governor Used Persuasion
"In his dealings with the Legisla-
tue. the Governor has not attempted
to drive. He used persuasion instead
of the whip. He discussed his pro-
jects with legislators and succeeded
in having them see them as he did.
Standing with him and helping to
work out his program was that other
leader of men, Senator William e.
Crow, of Fayette, chairman of the
Republican State committee, and
recognized leader of the General As
sembly. The tasks sometimes de-
volving upon him were difficult but
in his quiet way he successfully
worked them out. Another strong
ally was w. Harry Baker, secretary
of the SeEate, the legislative expert
of Pennsylvania, and a man whose
counsel is always valuable. In the
House the men who had a large
share in successfully steering the
Governors legislative program were
John w. Vickerman, Allegheny;
William T. Ramsey, Delaware, and
John M. Flynn, Elk. While the
latter is a Democrat, he cast aside
partisan feeling and worked with
the Governor for the upbuilding of
the State. Especial credit is due Mr..
Flynn for his work on the sedition
and teachers salary increase legisla
ton.
THE appropriation situation was
handed by William j. McCaig, of
Pittsburgh, chairman of the House
committee. He worked with the
Governor, and received the crafty
ing compliment of both bodies
unanimously accepting the general
appropriation bill without sending it
to q conference committee. This in
dicates that the serpent, which has
so often found a resting place in this
