Congressman Aiken is to have a now opponent for his seat in congress and Anderson county a candidate. For some tithe lt has been rumored that Belton had a citizen with congression al aspirations, and was considering lite matter of offering for the position of representative from the Third Con gressional district/ All rumors are now at nn encl and John Horton is in : tlie rat e to stay and, his friends say, ? to win. It is believed that he will poll a large vote In Anderson county, and this is the largest voting comity in the district. Coupled with the large .vpte lie" ?viii carry- In the other i counties, his supporters and friends tin thiB county sec nothing in the way of Anderson's having o representative ! in congress. ?* ?2a5fe< ! The fol Jo wing sketch of MT., Horton's life has been Bent The Intelligencer from a warm friend Of tile"candidate living in Helton: ''John Aiken Horton, our candidate for cortgfess.'wdtf bdrn in Aujr.tst 1874. on bis father's farm near Belton. As i a small hov he attended school here in Helton, having io Walk' tjie distance of four iniles twice each day. He was determined to have an education, und never stood hack on account of wind or weather, but was always present .and aiway?>led his classes. >vrgm hero he went to the Patrick Military In stitute in Anderson, teaching school there the summer months tn pay his tuition. He was g.raducted from this institution in 189"?. He then went into the grocery business on'a am all scale, but soon his business bad grown to be one of the'largest In Belton. In/1903'he organized the Farmer's Bank of Belton with a capital stock of $20.000.00. He met with a great deal of opposition in this venture, es pecially by Hon. A. C. Latimer, but when this gentleman saw how deter mined Mr. Horton was to succeed .he ; withdrew his objections, and was one of his biggest stockholders-showing how much confidence he had in Mr. Horton. The bank has grown to a sur plus of $17.000.00, under his able man agement. He did all of the work him self for several years, but now he and his cashier are botb taxed to keep up with it. He was mayor of Belton for three terms retiring each time on account of business. It was during his admin istrations, that lawlessness was prac tically wiped out of Belton. IBs fear less administration did honor to him. accomplished the end he was striving for-a law abiding as wei!ins clean town. He was always merciful where circumstances warranted it and did his duty as an honest man should. Mr. I Horton - was married in June 1910 to- Miss 7mma Tate/ one of El berton Georgia's most attractive young ladies. Socially they are one of the most popular couples in Belton, and aa a business man Mr. Horton is hon ored as hjghi); as ariy man in Ander son cotu$tj% because he has succeeded at everything . he baa eyer undertak en, because his character ls clean and honorable,: because he sticks to hts business, because he can always be de. pendedSjH'i t# he at '"his post and be cause w^win do what ls right while he is there. That ls the kind of a man Belton is offering to this district as a .candi date for their representative and sdre ly that is tito kind or a man every good, honest voter in this s district wants, to rep.esent him In Oui* con gress.' If you vote for Mr. Horton Von cari feel safe that when a roll is called In congress he will be present to answer to his name*arid to have your, interests truly at heart. ' Born of farmer parents brought up a farmer boy and* thrown in close'contact with farmers', all of hts life, he knows the farmer's, needs not the theories, but their actual needs. ; , . Living for years in a mill town he also knows their'needs and being a tanker, he knows their needs , and is ready to .work for them all to (lie very best of his ability, as he has always done in everything he ever undertook to do. . Belton is proud.of Mr. John Aiken Horton and predicts greut things for bim in the future. Harry E.
