Horton of Belton S Manner by Those Amoi A Boy Who Has Fo? and Made Hhn The following brief sketch was written by the editor of The Belton Journal, in Mr. Horcon's home town: John A. Horton. our candidate for congress, was born in August, 1874, on his father's farm near Belton. As a small boy he attended school here in Belton, having to walk the distance of four miles each day. He was deter- j a O navOl1 ! lil>i;cu LKJ iia*c ail uuuvauuu, uuu ? v^i stood back on account of wind or "weather, but was always present and always led his class. From here he went to the Patrick Military Institute, in Anderson, teaching school there the summer months to pay his tuition. He j was graduated from this institution in | 1895. He then went into the grocery business on a small scale, but soon his business had grown to be one of r,he largest in Belton. '- in 1903 he organized the Farmer's Bank of Belton with a capital stock of $25,1)00. He met with a great deal of opposition in this venture, especially by Hon. A. C. Latimer, but when this gentleman saw how determined Mr. Horton was to succeed he withdrew his objections, and was one of the big '^Vi'st stockholders?showing how much confidence he had in iMr. Horton. (The bank has grown to a surplus of $17,000 under his able management. He did all the work himself for several years, but now he and his cashier are both taxed to keep up with it. He was mayor of Belton for three I "Terms, retiring each time on account j of business. It was during his admin-1 istration that lawlessness was practically wiped out of Belton. His fearless administration did honor to him, accomplished the end he was striving for?a law-abiding as well as a clean town.

John Horton Par Congress and Why The Tribune Will Support Him. Frcm Anderson Farmers' .Tribune. Mr. John A. Horton, a well known business man and farmer of Belton, has disrobed, took a header over the I bank and dived into the congressional race in the election to be held next1 summer. The editor of The Tribune supported Mr. Horton in his last race j and proposes to continue to stick to him. iV'r. Horton was the only Anderson man in the race last year and believing it my duty to support a home man, he got my suffrage, and I see no reason why I should now swap horses. Mr. Horton losing out in the first race, I supported Mr. Dominick in the sec ond. I no!: only supported Mr. Horton in the first race on account of longstanding friendshfp, but because he is I competent and because of county pride. For that reason, I will jump in with him again and, sink or swim, I expect to do all I can to elect him. I make this announcement in order that there may be no misunderstanding as to how I stand on the congressional race. In this race, as in every other race or question, I will not be found on the fence. | Mr. Horton and myself have not only been life-long friends, but we are old schoc' mates, having attended the old Patrick Military Institute together. In an article I wrote to one of the local papers last winter, in commenting on the fact that the Third Congressional District had no representa live and tnat Amaerson couniy naa been completely ignored by Governor Manning in k:.s appointments, as well as by Congressman (?) Aiken and the L'nited States senators, I stated that little counties like Abbeville not only got all the honors, but the offices as well, and called on the people of An derson county to support an Anaerson man next summer for congress. The people of this county are continually grumbling because it is ignored, when it should be if it hasn't enough count? pride to stick to home men when they announce for state and national offices. N'ow that Mr. Horton will make the race for Anderson county, it is the duty of Anderson county voters to stick to him. I frankly concede to every voter the right to make his own choice in the mntfpr nf a candidate for congress, and 1 presume he will do so. I know T will.

That's all t_e sort of democracy I know. Before tte nomination is made, I always want everybody to know who I am for, because after ihe nomination it will be no secret, as I always vote for the ticket. For this reason, I will say that in my opinion, the Anderson county man who is most pre-eminently enj . i a. T_1 A tinea to ?rae nommauon is jonn a. Horton of Belton. V. B.

Jf One cf the most promising of the mar:v efforts made to find a substitute for German fertilizers is a patent taken ont a few weeks ago by a Canadian for a method of using the potash in ordinary feldspar. This process consists of heatinr the ! feldspar with limestone and iron oxide of o tamnuMturo nf Q-hrtllt 9. ^00 j U C U U.VVAA V V* MVW v ^ - FarenheU. which produces a partlyfused mass that is easily decomposed by a weak acid. From this product the potash salts can readily be extracted | for further purification. - - - - ? ? A t_ A practical try-out tor anotner memod of obtaining potash fertilizer will soon take place at a New Orleans diotillery where molasses is used in lar^e quantities. It is said to be a fact that 106 tons of potash are \*astVd daily by the 25 or more distilleries in this country that subject molasses to processes of fermentation. The New Orleans company is planning to install the process of saving the potash in distilley waste recently brought to the attention of the public by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. It should be possible to make fertilizer from this otherwise worthless material at a price that will meet competition even after the war is over. Smart Young Man?What do you think of Brown?
