Where did Bertha Smith get her BA in 1913?

Missionary and prayer center founder, Olive Bertha Smith (affectionately known as “Miss Bertha”), was born on November 16, 1888, near Cowpens, SC, to John McClellan and Frances Thorne Smith. After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1913, Miss Bertha worked as a primary school teacher for a year. She then went for missionary training.

I cannot find out what school she received her BA from. Does anyone know? She was actually my cousin.
