O'SHIELDS is REFUSED
COMMISSION BY BLEASE

(Thursday's Spartanburg JournaD
w. G. S. O'Shields, a supporter of
Governor Blease in the recent cleo
tion and he himself a candidate for
the Office of county auditor in the
Blease political machine, has been
denied his commission by his excel
lency. Mr.. O'Shields received notifi-
cation from the secretary of the
state yesterday, advising that on ac-
count of his contempt for the Gulf
and Atlantic Insurance Company, in
which company Mr.. O'Shields secured
surety for his bond, the governor re-
fused to sign the commission. Now
it is up to the reelected auditor, for
his fifth term to secure surety with
another bonding company and to go
over the general routine again.
The reason, it is said, for the gov
ernor's attitude toward the Atlantic
and Gulf Insurance Company arises
from the fact that Comptroller Cen
eral Jones, who is one of Mr.. Blease's
bitterest enemies, was the founder Of
the company, and at the present time
is interested. r. M. Jones, a son of
the comptroller general, is secretary
and treasurer of the company. The
governor does not think the ,compa-

REV. Wakefield
RESIGNS CHURCH
He Will Become Pastor of
Second Baptist Church
of Columbia-His Resig-
nation Deeply Regretted
by COngregatiOn-Will
Leave June 1st.

Rev. w. D. Wakefield, pastor of the
First Baptist church here, resigned
Sunday to accept the pastorate of the
Second Baptist church, Columbia. The
resignation is to take effect June l..
The resignation was a great sur
prise to the congregation and is sin
cerely regretted by all. His work in
Union began in the fall of 1910, and
during his pastorate the church has
greatly increased in numbers and in
spiritual power. Mr.. Wakefield is pop
ular, not only with his own congre-
cation but with other churches
throughout the city and county. He
is possessed of most pleasing per-
sonality and as preacher and gospel
singer, he has won the hearts of the
people.
The work to which Mr. Wakefield
goes is an important one, and the
congregation there will begin at
once the erection of $4,000 church
building.
Mr.. Wakefield feels that the larg-
er field to which he is called had
claims that he could not withstand.
This week Mr.. Wakefield is con-
Quoting revival meeting in George
town, and the First Baptist church
will be closed Sunday on account of
his absence.
Mr.. Wakefield has been strong
personality in Union during his
more than two years residence here,
and there is genuine regret that he
has decided to leave Union.

Death of a Good Woman.

Mrs. Martha Smith died at her
home in this city Thursday night
about IL o'clock. She had been in
poor health for some time, but was
able to be up and to go about her
daily tasks. Her death was a great
shock to her friends and neighbors.
Mrs. Smith was for many years a
resident of Union. She was, before
her marriage, Miss Martha Multi
max, and was one of the oldest resi-
dents of Union. She was possessed
of beautiful Christian character,
and was a member of the First Bap-
tist church here.
The burial was conducted by Rev.
j. l. Daniel at her late residence on
North Pinckney street, Friday after
noon The interment was in the Pres
byterian cemetery.
Mrs. Smith was 76 years of age.

JAMES M. EISON
PASSES AWAY
Died Wednesday Night at
the Home of His Son,
Theo EisOn, Three Miles
South of UniOn-He was
a Good Man and Gallant
Confederate Soldier.

Mr.. James M. Eison died at the
home of his son, Mr.. Theo. Eison,
three miles South of Union, Wednes-
day night at 1890 o'clock. Mr.. Eli
son was 90 years of age on February
3rd, and had been quite sick for
about six weeks prior to his death.
Up to that time he had been in COM
paratively good health, although by
reason of the infirmities of age he
had not often been away from home
during the past few years.
Mr.. Eison was a native of Union,
having been born in house located
near where the residence of Capt. A.
H. Foster is located on Main street,
in the year 1921. He has lived all his
long life in Union county. He served
several years in the Confederate
army in the 18th S. C. regiment, and
was honorably discharged on account
: his age before the war closed. His
wife's maiden name was Miss julia
Mackie Brown, of Union county. She
preceded him to the grave by many
years, having died in 1875.
He leaves four living sons: Mes.
sur. ]. M. Eison, of Columbia; J. R
Eison, Lexington county; Theo. Eisor
of Union and I. E. Eison of New
berry. His surviving daughters are
Mrs. S. E. O'Dell, Mrs. Eloise Haw
kins, Mrs. 1. L. Bobo, all of Uniol
county, and Mrs. Addie Ford, O
Texas. Besides these he has a mum
ber of grandchildren and other rel
atives.
Mr.. Eison was a man of sterling
character, a good citizen, a lovin
father and man for whom all ha
the highest respect. Mr.. Eison wa

ny safe one.
Up until a few months ago, how
ever, Mr.. Blease has recognized with
favor the Atlantic and Gulf Insur-
ance Company. He signed the COM
missions of Sheriff White and Clerk
of Court N. L. Bennett, and it has
been discovered that these gentle
men were bonded with the company
in question.
Mr.. O'Shields and Mr.. Jones have
been associated for many years in
the discharge of their duties, re-
spectively, with the county and state
and from this association strong
friendship has arisen between the
zen. 1t was only natural that Mr..
OShields should place his business
n the hands of the company repre-
sented by Mr.. Jones, and it was also
the fulfillment of a promise made
last year between representative of
the company and Mr.. O'Shields.
In conversation with Mr.. O'Shields
This morning a reporter was advised
fthat efforts were on foot to secure
surety in another company and upon
the close of this business he felt
sure that Governor Blease would
honor him with his commission

CHAMBER ELECTS
new SECRETARY
Chamber of Commerce
Elects Walter X. Sumner,
of Detroit, Mich, New
Secretary-Has Begun
Work, and Asks the Co.
operation of All Who are
Interested in Up-building
the City of Union.

Mr.. Walter X. Sumner, of Detroit,
Mich, arrived in Union Monday af-
ternoon, and has accepted the posi-
ton of secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce.
Mr.. Sumner comes to Union rec
commended by Mr.. Lucius E. Wilson,
who recently led the campaign to
raise funds for putting the Chamber
of Commerce upon a sound financial
basis, $4,000 having been raised as a
result of this campaign, the effort
was put forth to locate live secre-
tary. The board of directors believe
they have found the right man in Mr..
Sumner. Mr.. Sumner was secretary
of the Michigan Manufacturing Asso-
citation up to several months ago, at
which time he became identified with
the work of organizing Chambers of
Commerce.
At one time he was the publisher
of the Michigan Manufacturers and
financial Record, published at De-
troit He conducted that paper more
than two years. He is young man
26 years of age, and although young
in years, is thoroughly equipped for
the responsible position to which he
has been elected.
The work that will be undertaken
by Mr.. Sumner will be in line with
promoting the agricultural interests
in the surrounding country. He in
tends to make it possible to have a
government expert to help work up
the matter. He believes that the
Chicago Grain Dealers Association

Il help forwafd the work Of hayinSsthe

\ He thinks that public market
would of great benefit to the town
and county. The general plan is tc
have the city authorities build plat.
form to be used by the farmers as 6
place to bring their products for the
market.
He will use whatever influence hi
has in helping to forward the gooc
roads movement.
He will undertake to interest in
dustries, urging Union as a point fo
: such location.
. Mr.. Sumner is studying the sit
:. uation and urges that the people d.
= not expect too much in the beginning
: ', The work is slow, but sure; and i
will require time to bring results.
Mr.. Sumner will have offices in tn
rooms of the Chamber of Commerc
' and will be glad to talk with al
those interested in the up-building o
Union. He hopes those interested
both from the city and the county
will drop in and talk with him, max
ing any suggestions that may occu
to them.
