JOHN A. HORTON IN RACE FOE CONGRESS ? ? Belton Man In The Ring From Third District Friends Are Sure Mr. Horton Will Be Very Much in the * Race to the End. I LVlion Journal. Congressman Aikt-n U> have a new oppoiu 'it for his seal in congress and Anderson county.,, a : caiiuiu.uc., For some time it ha? been rum red j thai Belton had a citizen with con-, ^ gressional aspirations, and was con- j sidering t.-e matter of ottering for the ; position of representative from the Third Congressional district. All ? ~ onH John rumors are uv/w at v??va v? Hortcn is in the race to stay and, his friends say. to win. It is believed that ne will poll a large vote in Anderson county, and this is the largest j voting county in t?:ie district. Coupled with the large vote he will carry in the other counties, his supporters and friends in this county see nothing in the way o: Anderson's having a .representative in congress. "John Aiken Hort^n, our candidate for congress, was born in August. 1874, on his father's farm near Belton. As j a small boy he attended school here in Belton, having to walk the distance 01 four miles twice each day. He was determined to 'have an education, and never stood back on account of wind or weather, but was always present j and always led his class. From here lie went to the Patrick Military Institute in Anderson, teaching school there the summer months to pay his tuition. He was graduated from this institution in 1695. He then went into I tne grocery business on a small scale, but so -n his business nad grown to j be one of the largest in Belton. Iii 1903 he organized the Farmer's Bank of Belton \vii?j a capital stock of He met with a great deal of opposition in this .-enture, es- I pecially by Hon. A. C. Latimer, but when this gentleman saw how determined Mr. Horton was to succeed he . withdrew his objections, and was one o: his biggest stockholders?showing how much confidence he had in Mr. Horton. The bank has grown to a surplus of $1.7,000.00, under his able man'agement. He did all of the work himself for several years, but now he and his cashier are both taxed to keep up with it. I He was mayor of Belton for three terms retiring each time on account o: ! business. It was during his admint istrations, that- lawlessness was practically wiped out of Belton. His fear) less administration did honor to him, accomplished the en4 he was striving for?a law abiding as well as clean town. He was always merciful where circumstances warranted it and did his duty as an 'honf>*t man should. Mr. Horton was married In June, 1010, to Miss Emmae Tate, one of Elberton Georgia's most attractive young ^ ladies. Socially they are one of the most popular couples in Belton, and j KB as a business man Mr. Horton is hon- j Bored as highly as any man in Ander- j ?son county, because he has succeeded at everything he has ever undertakV en. because his character is clean and W honorable, because he sticks to his ft business, because he can always be der pended on to be at his post and because he will do What is right while I lie is there. That is the kind of a man Belton is offering to this district as a candidate for their representative and surely that is the kind of a man every good, honest vcter in this district ^vants to represent him in our congress. If you vote for Mr. Horton you con feel safe that when a roll is called in congress he will be present to answer to his name and to have your interests truly at heart. Born of farmer parents ^ i. i. ? . _ _ j f orougnt up a larmer ocy ana rarown in close contact with farmers, all of "his life, he knows the farmer's needs nof the theories, but their actual needs. Living for years in a mill town he also knows their needs and being a banker, he knows their needs and is Teady to work for them all to the very "best of his ability, as he has always done in everything he ever undertook to do. Belton is proud of Mr. Jo?hn Aiken Horton and predicts great things for "him in the future.?Adv. ] /fc-; ;A jjf : ?' ^ JL JL JL4L/ u Lv ' ;: C }' - ' j 7, \\ Su'- : = . / o*r^ The telephone goes roads, .
