Limestone's Opening. Week A Letter from Limestone. Dear Homefolks: Daddy Lodge ask me to give an ac. count of our opening4o Capt. Bell, th( editor of the Gaffney Ledger. Now, ii I could just tell him what I am going tc tell you, I wouldn't mind. Why, th( impossible has happened. You know the motto of the canning club giris of the state "To make the best better." We were taught in ou Seminery English that this was impos. sible, but it is not with Limestone col lege, for that is what she does every year. Each year is the best, and the next one better. This year is no excep. tion to the rule. It is the very best year in the history of the college. Best in the number.of dollars added to the treasury in the way of endowment, best in the number of girls crowding-to be truthful overcrowding the dormitories; best in the kind of girls' swarming through the halls. One of the teachers began explaining to a friend the unusu ally fine set of girls. My friend said, "you don't have to tell me anything about them, I have seen for myself, actions speak louder than words," and then told a particularly sweet, fine thing the student body did. Pat us on the back. The student body couldn't help but be particularly sweet, fine and thoughtful after Dr. Lodge's talk to the students on Thursday morning the 19th, when we were assembled for our first chapel exercises. It is a high standard he gave us to live up to, but he makes us feel that we can do anything. That talk was "wonderful." I was telling you why this year is the best in the history of the college. It must be because we've had only one homesick girl that I know anything about, and I am sure she will be the happiest one in the crowd when her trunk gets here. Friday we had the classes on schedule time but as there was not much study ing to do, as we did not have all of our books, study hour was not very strictly observed, indeed for half of this period the Dean met us and gave us sonething to think about, and the last half was spent in carrying out these plans. She stioke of the splendid traditions of the college-the finest of which is the spirit ual atmosphere that pervades the school the atmosphere of home and love. Of course we old girls knew that already. Saturday night the observance of one of the best social traditions the Y. W. C. A. reception to 'the new girls. It was a wonderful success. We enjoyed it all. One of the biggest hits of the evening was made by the director of music, The president of the Y. W. surprised the Faculty by calling on each one for a stunt and Prof. Eyer's mono logue on love was screamingly funny. Sunday night is o'ur Y. W. C. A. night. Our Y. W. C. A is the strongest and best organization in school. More than one girl has come to Limestone because her mother happened to visit our Y. W. C. A. Monday is our holiday, and we started it right. While at break fast "Joe" put up a beautiful poster calling for the Fourth Liberty Loan. Before the poster ,was hardly up the president of the Grif i4th society called for a meeting of her society and they subscribed for a $50 bond, the first one subscribed in Gaffney. The second followed immediatly. The Cooper society took a $100 bond. Didn't I tell you if we were anything wve were patriotic. Always yours and Daddy Lodge's girl, and to the newv girls,. "An Old Girl" Death ot Mrs. T. S. Stribling Mrs. TV. S. Stribling died at the home of Mrs. Grace Verrer Monday night. Mrs Stribling went to Seneca from Ware Shoals several wveekcs ago for the purpose of consulting her physician. She was never able to return to her home. All the members of her family were at her bedside when the end came. She is survived by her husband and four children, Poppie, Sloan, Tomi and Yancey. She was 35 years old and was a very popular woman during her long residence here. Mrs. Stribling took an active part in church and social work and the numerous friends of the family learned of her decath with sorrowv. Funeral services were held Tuesday and interment wvas in Mountain View cemetery. Mrs. Stribling lived in Pickens for r year or more. Mr. Stribling held a position with the Heath-Eruce-Morrow; Co., and her many friends here will re gret to learn of the sudden dleath oi this good woman.

A very interesttng convention was held at the Six Mile Academy the 21st. and 22nd. of September, when the Sun oay school forcesof the county gathered for their annual meeting. It must be confessed that Pickens county does not stand in the front ranks among the counties of the stata when it comes to Sunday school, but there are signs of an awakening that pron'ses better things for the year to com, Prbf. Webb and ' Davis, workers employed by the Sttr Association, were present and their !.:vices were both practical and inspiru 'unal. It is doubt ful if the valuable service that the South Carolina Sunday School Associa tion is rendering to Pickens county is generally known or fully appreciated by the people of the county. lrof. Mor rison and Prof. Conrady of Clemson Coliege were also among those whoes presence and wora was appreciated by the convention. Prof. West of Central Wesleyan Methodist Cillege showed to the convention the necessity of having trained leaders .and laid out practical plans for securing them- As never he fore, the world is appreciating the faith ful work that the Sunday school is do ing. The words of President Wilson come with special meaning, "No study is more important to the child than the study of the Bible, and of the truths that it teaches, and there is no more effective agency for that study than the Sunday school." One resolution passed by the conven tion should be of special interest to every citizen of Pickens county, "'Be it resolved that Pickens county set for its objective this year the Gold Star Standard." That means, among other things, that a convention be held in each of the five Districts of the county and that in these five conventions, every Sunday school in the county is to be representedl. WVhat say you, people of the county, can we do it? Let us go over the top! S. W. Wright, County Secy. and Treas. THREE WAR MEDALS BESTOWED ON "Y"HERO.
