cation for long time upon certain
studies has come before the State
Superintendent of Education, in
lis examination OF the papers of the
applicants for the West Point ca
detship. held here Tuesday. The
Young man who won the scholar
ship. Mr.. Robert Stephenson
Simon. OF Charleston. worked tor
about ten hours on the questions
submitted. and when he got
through was in a state OF mental
and physical exhaustion. rs re-
suit he forgot his OWN name and
signed the papers Robert Step
henson" leaving off his last name
entirely. The papers were tor
warded to the war department this
way and the error was not l'ScoV-
cred until today. when Sheriff Mar
tin. OF Charleston, tclcphoned Mr..
Martin to have the error corrected.
Mr.. Martin has taken up the mat
ter with Senator Tilln1an. asking
the name to be changed, and eH-
plains in a letter to the senator that
it was probably from nervous strain
that the mistake was made. There
will hardly be any difficulty in hav-
ing this done.
