Many changes took place by death and resignation.  Scarcely any of the field officers remained in the end.  Many Captains of a low rank went all the way to Colonels of regiments, and Third Lieutenants rose by promotion to Captains.  This shows the terrible mortality among the officers.  None of the first field officers but what had been killed or incapacitated for service by wounds at the close of the war.

THIRD SOUTH CAROLINA REGIMENT.

James D. Nance, of Newberry, Captain of Company E, elected Colonel.

Conway Garlington, of Laurens, Captain of Company A, elected
Lieutenant Colonel.

W.D.  Rutherford, of Newberry, formerly Adjutant, made Major.

Y.J.  Pope, Newberry, formerly Orderly Sergeant of Company E, made
Adjutant.

G.W.  Shell, Laurens, Quartermaster.

J.N.  Martin and R.N.  Lowrance, Commissary.

Ed. Hicks, of Laurens, Sergeant Major.

All staff officers are appointed or recommended for appointment by the Colonel of the regiment.  The offices of Regimental Quartermaster and Commissary, the encumbents heretofore ranking as Captains, were abolished during the year, having one Quartermaster and one Commissary for the brigade, the regiments having only Sergeants to act as such.  I will state here that some of the companies from each regiment had reorganized and elected officers before the time of re-enlistment.  This is one reason why rank was not accorded in the regular order.  In the Third Regiment, Company E, Captain J.D.  Nance, and perhaps several others, had reorganized, taken their thirty days’ furlough, and had returned before the general order to reorganize and remain for two more years or the war.  The new organizations stood in the Third as follows, by Captains:
