There We're considerably more than 100
competitors, and all the scholarships have
been occupied by young men who aver
aged high in ability and earnestness.
Nearly all the incumbents having COM
pleted the course with success, the schol-
arShipS are vacant except for the Eighth
district and open for competition again.
An examination will be held in each
district about the middle of August on
such exact day, and at such place and
before such committee as each Congress
man for his district and each u. ;. Sen
ator for the State ut large may select,
and applicants are referred to their own
Congressman or the Senator for particu-
lars.
In case there is no examination in any
district, a special examination may be
had in ASheville on the oath of August
before the faculty of the school, and If
the man who stands highest does not
use his scholarship for any cause. it is
open TO the second best man as alternate
for ninety days after the examination.
