Their mother, the late Mrs Eliza Berrien Carroll, daughter of the late United States Senator Berrien of Georgia, was especially watchful of the needs of children and contemplated before her death on August 15, 1894, that eventually the family home, which is shaded by many magnolia trees, should be converted into a memorial orphanage, in which there should be kept an industrial school for the children of indigent white persons livig in or near Columbia. In this school it was proposed to teach domestic service, a respectable and worthy livelihood. Mrs Carroll's will provides for the ultimate execution of this benevolent project.

CARROLL PROPERTY OFFERED TO CITY
To Found School for Domestic Servants
The Carroll home and property at 1329 Gervais Street, by the death of Miss Sophia Parsons Carroll Friday night, will be offered the city of Columbia for the founding of a training school for white domestic servants. The offer is made under provisions of the will of Mrs Eliza Carroll, mother of Miss Sophia Parsons Carroll, and wife of the late Chancellor James Parsons Carroll. Miss Sophia Carroll is the last member of the family.
Under the terms of the will, the property, valued at approximately $100,000, was to have gone to Edward Screven upon condition that he change his name to Carroll on or before he was 21 years of age. Mr Screven, who died when he was 23 years old, declined to meet the conditions of the will and under further provision of the will the property is now to be offered to the city of Columbia that the city may there conduct a school for white domestic servants. Appropriations for the conducting of the school must be made by the city itself i case the gift is accepted.
Decsion as to whether the offer is to be accepted or not now rests with the present city council. What may be done, of course, is problematical but several years ago the members of the then city council, having the issue before them, were inclined to refuse the gift, various complications having arisen. In 1912 Miss Sophia Carroll, who was to have possession of the property during her lifetime, applied to the city council for an abatement of taxes on the property and exemption from paying assessments on the ground that the property would eventually revert to the city. The council members, however, inclined to decline the gift, refused Miss Carroll's request.
