General Grant has served national guard on several o< and saw. service in France \s famous Thirtieth Division. He equipped to fill the office, twice been associated with < Moore and having been the 1 jutant general's right hand i the reorganization of-the guar es in South Carolina. General was very much attached to C Grant and thought highly of h ity as a guard officer and as : sistant adjutant general. It wa eral Moore's wish to see his ant succeed him as he knew G Grant thoroughly understood t organization plans and would these out to the best of his a Service With Guard. . General Grant's first servia with Company A, Sumter G Second South Carolina infantr enlisted with this unit June 26, and soon after enlistment went i Mexican border with the two men ts fom this state. He' was this company until is return the border in March 1917, whe men were mustered-out at < Moore. After being mustered o the service he went to the adj general's office with General UK where he remained until called again in July, 1917, going with mental headquarters of the Se South Carolina Infantry under Holmes B. Springs. The Second regiment wen Camp Sevier in the latter part of gust in 1917 and General Grant made a regimental sergeant m under Colonel Springs, commande trains, Thirtieth Division, the fan Old Hickory having been organ with South Carolina North Care and Tennessee guardsmen. He been really a "private secretary' Colonel Springs on the border continued in this capacity. In IV 1918 the Thirtietri left for Frai arriving late that month, and Ge] al Grant remained with the same ganization during all the fighting his division. After returning to - ' states in April of 1919 be was i charged at Camp Jackson and si thereafter went to Spartanb' where he was associated with Bi John D. Frost in the cotton busini October 15, 1920, he was appoin . the assistant adjutant general . General Moore, succeeding Maj. G. Marshall, Jr., resigned. He sen in this capacity until the death General Moore when he became 1 acting adjutant general. The new adjutant general is a i tive of Mountville, Laurens coun being the son of J. C. Grant. I appointment will be received wi genuinen appreciation by his fr?en all over the state who had highly .rf ommended him to the governor, large number of letters were i ceived by the governor asking hi to appoint Grant. The new head the militia has an excellent reco and is a young man of fine char?cte good business judgment and a ke< interest in the National Guard. Guard Firmly Established. Under General Moore and Gener Grant the federal allottment of guai units of the fiscal year ending Jur 30 has been entirely organized ar in fact the guard of the state is i much better condition now than i any previous time period. A full re$ iment of infantry ,two coast artiller companies, one field artillery battery one motor transport company, a the regimental companies other tha the infantry units, such as the heac quarters company, the service cora pany, sanitary detachment, etc., hav been organized under the new plan of the late General Moore. Majo Grant bore a large part of the worli General Moore's plans will be car ried out in full by the new adjutan general, he being in full accord wit) the ideas of the lamented officer. Thi reorganized guard has far surpass?e the expectations of the governor an( the legislature and to place Genera Grant in charge of the forces at thi? time should mean a continued effort to place South Carolina above all other states. Due to insufficient fund? "to maintain the units now in the field General Grant has since the death of General Moore secured funds to maintain all the organiza tions and to go ahead with the re organized plans. Advices from the ^commanding general ?f the Fourth corps area, Fort McPherson, Ga., re ceived by General Girant yesterday are to the effect that the appropria tion bill has been passed by congress and will provide funds for the annual encampment at Mt. Pleasant, begin ning July 16. Statement by Governor. General Grant will announce his assistant within a day or two, having practically decided upon the man for the place. The staff will be composed of the following: The assistant ad jutant general, to be announced in a few days; Maj. F. W. Glen, prop erty and disbursing officer; Mrs. A. B. McLauchlin and Miss N?rdica Davis, all of these to be continued under the new administration. In announcing the appointment of Major Grant as the adjutant general, Governor Cooper said last night that he was actuated by a number of mo tives. "L do not recall any appoint ment I have had to make" said he, "which has caused me more solicitous thinking.. Among the applicants there was not one who could not render ef fective service in this position. Maj or Grant, however, has for some time been assistant in the adjutant gen eral's office, and for several months has been called upon to dp the bulk of the work because of the declining health of the late General Moore. He is thoroughly acquainted with the routine and also the larger policies of the adminisration. He understands naturally, better than any outsider could, the plans formulated by Gen eral Moore for the rehabilitation of the national guard in this state. These plans are now well under way : the guard is growing more rapidly than I had expected, though not more rapidly than I had hoped. "Another consideration was based perhaps, partly at least, upon senti ment. Just before his death General Moore requested that Major Grant be appointed as his successor. He based this request upon his high per sonal and official regard for his as sistant, and upon his desires for the guard to be rebuilt along the lines he had mapped out. Aside from the fact that I regarded the late adjutant general's request as logical, I wished to do this, his last official wish-a de sire expressed by a man who five times had been selected by the peo ple of the state for the post to which Major Grant has now been appointed. "Major Grant's record in the world war was excellent. He is quick, loyal and competent. I anticipate a most successful term of service from him." -The State. Dcrn-Bianchard. The marriage of Miss Rosa May Blanchard and Mr. Clyde Elliott Dorn which" was solemnized yesterday at 12:30 at the home of the bride's ^pa rents at Davidson's Crossing, was one of the loveliest home weddings of the season. No cards had been sent out and the wedidng was a quiet one, but the parlors of the Blanchard home had been beautified with countless vases and bowls of cut flowers and palms and pot plants as a background for the bright colors of the summer blossoms. The improvised altar was arranged in the parlor ,the bride and groom standing beneath an arch of green on which hung a huge horse shoe of flowers. The bride came in with the groom, and she was most lovely in a smart coat suit of midnight blue tricotine with which was worn a cream Geor gette blouse and a becoming hat of blue with touches of gray. Gray gloves and shoes completed her cos tume and her flowers were bride's roses. The ceremony was performed by Rev. E. C. Sheridan, during which soft music was played by the Har mony Orchestra, who also played the wedding march. After (receiving con gratulations the bride and groom left for a short stay at the seaside. Mrs. Dorn is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Cluese A. Blanchard, and is one of Augusta's loveliest girls. She is bright and attractive and besides possessing a most winning personali ty is very talented and a most charm ing musician. Mr. Dorn is a member of a prom inent Carolina family, and is a popu lar young business man of this city, and has many friends who will offer sincere congratulations and good wishes. \ Mrs. Blanchard, the mother of the bride, wore an attractive costume of ecru crepe.

AD appreciation of the esteem in which the breeders hold blood lines of dif ferent individuals may be gained by noting the prices paid and the activity of the bidding on them. A word of caution here, however, may be neces sary. Breeders frequently become overenthusiastic on family bloodlines regardless of how distant they may be. In analyzing a pedigree consider carefully the sire, grandslres, and great-grandslres, or parents In the first three generations, for they contribute seven-eighths of the heredity. Look for the names of famous individuals in these first three generations. Back of them the breeding should be con sistent, without undesirable outcross es. Of course the females In th? ped igree must not be overlooked, but it is the bulls that determine Its value to a great extent Look for the names of noted men as being the breeders of some of these animals. Remember that a breeder becomes famous by having produced noted animals. ATTENTION TO STALL FLOORS Where Cement ls Used Bedding Should Be Spread to Protect Ud ders of the Cows.
