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.

A. C. Sligh, Tuesday evening, June 13,
when their daughter, Miss Martha Lee,

Xeal Blair, of Boone, X. C.
As the guests arrived they were
refreshed by punch, whioh was served
011 the porch by Misses Eva Ormand,
Mattie Glasgow and Janet Haltiwanger.
On entering the house one was impressed
with the loveliness of the
home which had been so beautifully
decorated for the occasion.
(The floors o.f the hall and parlor
were covered with white which made
all tJhe more effective, the 'ferns and
ever-greens that were so gracefully
draped about the walls, doors, windows
and mantels. The color scheme
throughtout being green and white.
Promptly at the appointed hour, <
Miss Jd.net Haitiwanger sounded the !
wedding march. Dr. A. J. Bowers, of
Newberry, the officiating minister
taking his place at the altar, the
bridal procession emerged from the I
rear 'tall in the following order: j
First came the dainty little ring-foearer,
Margaret Glasgow, a neice of the
bride, next came the maid of honor,
Miss Annie Belle Sligh, a sister of the
bride, who carried an armful of white
roses and ferns. And last to enter
were the bride and groom. Never
more lovely did the bride look than
on this occasion, she was beautifully
clad in a gown of silk crepe-de-chine
draped with rich lace and real pearis.
She carried a bouquet of bride roses
and ferns.
After the ceremony and congratulations
