Fletcher, farmers who reside in the eastern peri of Marl boro county, have offered a half million dollars worth of property to South Carolina for educational pur post's. The beautiful Fletcher Memorial sehool was' erected by them at a cost of $160,000 as a memorial to 1 Robert, the only child of W. B, Fletcher, who lost his life in France during the World War. Other build ings and equipment have made the plant co?t $216,500, besides the^ g round on which it is located. ?J. A. Fletcher, who is unmarried, lives with his brother William, and is a part">wner of "their great farm ing interests? Robert Fletcher was also the idol of his hoart. ; * Bo^h of them want to increase the value and usefulness of this memor ial school, and make it a lasting monument to Robert and other South Carolina boys who laid down their lives in defense of their country and of mankind. For some time they have been eon . side ring the enlargement of the in stitution and offering it to the state. . ' ? . ? - ? ..The Marlboro legislative delega tion were approached about it some time' ago, with the result that other member^ of the legislature were asked to meet at the Fletcher school .. last Friday* December 12, on the oc casion of the annual meeting of the School Improvement Association and bazaar. Only six members of the legisla ture were present. Many others sent regrets and expressed interest in the magnificent offer. Superintendent O. M. Mitchell pre sided at chapel exercises, and called on Representatives Kdgar A. Brown, of Barnwell, a^d John 15. Duffie, of Sumter, \vho made earnest and force ful talks,. _ Daniel C. lioper of Washington, 1). . C., was also present, and 'made an itytepes^iiig talk, .expressing ap preciation of the great offei of the Fletcher brothers, and saying that just such schools are needed to de velop men and women of strong character and ability to cope with the real problems of life. After a fine turkey dinner waS served, there was a business confer ence attended by thu trustees, Super intendent Mitchell. ( '. W. MoLaurin, of the agriculture department, county superintendent A. I.. Kustei ling, the Marlboro legislative delegation, Rep resentatives Brown and Duffie, and Senator'J. A. Spin ill, of Chesterfield. 1 At this conference, Marvin \V. Adams, chairman of the board of trustees, submitted the offer of W. B. and ?). A. Fletcher as follows: During the next three years tliey . will double the capacity of the pres ent school building, so that it will | have 24 large class rooms. They will also build dormitories sufficient ^ to take care, of .'5U0 students, and install ;i ?.<ntral heating plant and t dining numi. In addi!:"ii !?> thi.s th?-\ will giv one hut n?'i acres <>f adjacent land, which ite f ine-t farming ! uid . ; the sta'i ;;nd mure i!" needed.

Tnis being the finest farming 8(,c tion in the state, it will b > an "leal location for an agricultural school ami demonstration farm. There is no state institution 6tl. Kit; J i < i edueation in the eastern half of South Carolina. They arc all west of a line running through Rork Hill, Columbia and Charleston. Thin part of the state should be entitle! to something. ?*> When Thomas G. Clemson wille I his farm to South Carolina, it was worth not over $100,000, $nd had no school buildings or equipment, lie also retained control of the property through a self perpetuating board of trustees, On that property and un der those conditions, the state built Clemson college, John B. Duke is to control hi.s great donation to Trinity college through a self perpetuating board of trustees. The Fletcher brothers go beyond either of those gifts. ; They give a college plant, already built and equip ped, absolutely free, with no strings to it. The state will have absolute control. The Marlboro delegation will of fer a bill in the house and senate ?thin winter, providing for the accept ance of t he gift. The " /onfej^nce decided to invite I the legislature lo visit the school in ; a body some time during the early part of the session, in order that I the 'members may see the splendid property which is offered to the state. The Fletcher brothers own thou sands of acre's of the best farming lands in the Carolinas, and other property. It is not known what they will ultimately do for Fletcher Memorial school when they are as sured that it is to be a perpetual educational institution. In UU'J the South Carolina legis lature passed an act providing for the election of a memorial building* to the soldiers, of the World war. Such, a building has not yet been erected. There could be no more fit ting memorial to those who gave their lives in the war than an edu cational institution like that which tin- Fletcher brothers offer to the state' already built. W. H. Flethcer is a member of the memorial commission appointed under the act of 101!*. Largest In Nine Years Washington, Dec. 29. ?
