MRS. MAMIE GIBSON

On February II the spirit of Mrs.
Mamie Nelson Gibson of Westminster
burst the prison bars of death and
winged its way to mansions Of rest
there to live with Jesus and loved
ones gone before. Mrs. Gibson was
daughter Of the late Rev. T. +.
Nelson of Pickens county She was
38 years Of age and had been sick
long time. She was given all ply
sical aid that could be summoned, but
none was sufficient to stay the hand
of death. Mrs. Gibson was faithful
christian and always cheerful. AS
we go down the journey of life think
not of her as dead but. standing on
the other side Of the river waiting for
! us to come. She leaves a husband
and four children, three brothers and
three sisters and host Of relatives
and friends to mourn her departure.
Live with hope of meeting this good
woman who we know by her life
is not dead but sleeping. You are
not forgotten, Mamie, nor will you
ever be as long as life and memory
last. V. 1. N.

CLEMSON GETS MEET
Piedmont Oratorical and Athletic
Contests Be Held in April.

Departing from the usual custom
in two ways it was decided Satur-
day at an executive committee meet
ing of the Piedmont Athletic and
Oratorical Association held in the
Greenville High School building, to
hold the annual track meet and ora
torical contest at Clemson College in
stead of at Furman, where it has been
the custom to hold these contests in
the past and to stage a girls reading
contest which in all probability will
be held in Greenville.
The invitation from Clemson was
presented by Prof. j. c. Littleiohn
and on behalf of the institution he
assured the committeeman that the
meet would be handled in an efficient
manner.
April l5 was set as tentative date
Tor the tract meet while the night Of
April Ia was chosen for the oratori-
cal contest.
stitution for the association and the
following committee was appointed to
act in this capacity.
Prof. j. V. McElveen, of Easley;
Prof. J. F. Love, of Westminster and
Prof. L. N. Foy, of Liberty.
State rules will govern the selec-
tion of the declarations and read
ings aud time limits Of the oratorical
contest. ~, s4o,,.r
Nine high schools were represent
ed in the meeting by the following
men: Greenville, Prof. w. r. War
ren; Honea Path, Prof. l.. l.. Wright;
Easley, Prof. j. V. McElveen; Cal
houn- Clemson, Miss Morrison; West
minister, Prof. j. r. Love; Central,
Prof. G. E. Welborn; Seneca, Prof.
B. Dominick; Gaffney, Prof. w. G.
Taylor; Liberty, Prof. l.. N. Foy and
Laurens by Mr.. Foy.
The Sentinel regrets that the Pick
ems high school was not represented
at the meeting in Greenville. When
the Pickens school did belong to the
association she always stood well in
both the oratorical and athletic con-
tests and the school received much
benefit from it. 1t will be remem-
bered that the first time Pickens en-
tered the state track meet she brought
home the championship. What's the
matter with Pickens now?

Central Reporter.


day School Convention.
TO the Superintendent county Off
GERS, and all lovers of Sunday school,
we take this method of appealing tc
you.
1T is now time to begin to plan our
district conventions so we can have
all four Of them before the State
convention. We arc aware of the
fact that it will take some work to
have good convention, but it takes
work to have anything worth while.
1t took work to put over the big
campaign of the Billy Sunday meet
ing at Spartanburg, but they put it
over and today Spartanburg is a bet
ter town, not only Spartanburg, but
the whole Piedmont section. Pickens
county Sunday schools are what we
make them. We believe with q long
strong pull from every one that we
can close the year with much improy-
ed Sunday schools.
There are some things essential to
the success of the work. First. we
want to enlist the aid of all the sup
erintendents. Begin now to talk your
district convention. We want all of
the Sunday school teachers to come
to our aid in this springs program.
Second; We want the parents of
Pickens county to pray, plan and work
for the success of the Sunday school
work in the county; it may mean all
to your boy or girl. Third, we want
to enlist all the young, red blodded
people we can. Young man, young
lady, there is no better start you can
make than to begin work in the Sun
day school.
We want suggestions from any
Sunday school lovers Of Pickens coun-
ty, as to the great need Of the Sun
day schools Of the county. We want
you to express yourself as to the
things that you think need to be
discussed in the convention. In this
way we will be able to give you first
aid
Write me within the next few days,
and will file your suggestions, and
pass them on to your district to aid
them in making up their program,
Don't wait; do it now. We hope to
get letters from all over the county,
Yours for better Sunday schools,
