Hussars through nearly all grades
until some time ago he was elected
lieutenant colonel Of tho First regi-
ment
The adjutant, Mr. John D. Frost,
Jr., is from this county. He is an
admirable military man. He gradu-
ated from the South Carolina Mill
tary academy with first military
honors, being senior captain, and
fifth in his class, in 1891. Since
then he has seen good service, hav-
ing been captain of the Richland
Volunteers.
Now forms of commissions had to
be printed for tho officers and this
occasioned delay. 1t was nearly
dark last evening whom the new
blanks were delivered to the adju-
tant general. The commissions will
be made out Immediately and signed
up.
CAPT. FULLER ON HAND.
Capt. Ezra B. Fuller, U. S. A.,
who has been detailed to muster in
the troops furnished by this State,
arrived yesterday morning and re
ported to tho Governor. Ho has
been all over the camp ground and is
ready to begin work. He cannot do
anything, however, until the rogi-
mental surgeons have been examined
and commissioned. They have to
be mustered into service first; then
they will proceed to examine the
men who have como to tho camp;
this done, they will turn the mon
accepted over to Captain Fuller, who
will at once muster them into the
service of the United States. 1t is
expected that Adjutant Frost will DO
