Short Sketh~ , John A. 140 John 4. Hoton, of e1 to now a capdlate for Congess from this d16tret, was bod for, ty.one y4rag on a farm nea Neal's .rek 'urch in Ahder son comtitV. '.hen he was old enou4h he worked on the farpi in summer OxWd we t to school after crops wee laid byand in this way prepared himself for college. He worked his way through school, eaching during vacation, and grTaduated fromr the Patrick Military istltute in Anderson. In this institutioj under the instruction ofICol. J. B. Patrick, the great and good christian teachek', young Horton had the principles of honesty,'':, honor and ddtty in 'all things deeply impressed upon him. These principles had been taught him by christian parents in the home. Now they were more permanently fAxed in the very foundation of lis character and when Horton left the school he want into the school room as a teacher and Into the store room as a salesman and later into the mercantile business with his fa ther at Belton. The principles of honesty, honor and duty gui ded him in buying and sellink goods and he succeeded. When the Farmers Bank was organized at Belton in 1903 Mr. j~orton was.elected cashier and so faithfully did he discharge his duties and prove his ability to manage the business of the bank that he was . promoted from cashier to president in 1908, and under his management the bank has done vwell and has accom modated many farmers in the community, as well as others. People who have dealt with his bank will tell vou that they have had a square deal. When the subject of this sketch was quite a boy it was' mYpleasure to receive him into the fellowship of Neal's Creek church, and I am klad to hear that he has been a consistent member and active worker in the church and Sunday School. While every man ought to ai uniust stand on his own mer its, yet it is not against a man to have good and honorable khi people. So in the case of John A. Horton, he has good people on. his father's and mother's side. His father and grand-fat thers were successful farmers. He has two uncles who are hon ored and successful lawyers in Atlanta, Ga., and his brothers are successful business men. -He Ise1l9sely related to the- Ma. j6s. and Longs,'successfni far mers and business men of Anvs derson coanty. His wife was a MisTate, of Elbert county, Ga., closely related to our popular fdllow'-citizen, E. W. Tate, of Norris. Dr. Wmn. A. Long of Liberty married a sister of Mr. Horton. Should Horton be elected to congress he would fill the seat.~ of one of our most honored and'' lamented representatives, who was a kinsman of his by mar r'iage. I refer to the lamenited Asbury C. Latimer', who was, perhaps, one of the most popu' lar men among the masses of this district. Horton's friends do not claiml for him the gift of tgreat orato ry, b~ut, they do claim for him honor, mrtegity, fidelity to duty, that he Is a business man of fine ability, a man from the people, of the people and for the people; a man who has workedl himsel~ up and who knows the needs 6f the people. He pledges hltriself, if elected, to do his best forfali the people as God shall give him light to see his duty an# gtade 'ail4 ptronv'th to dischatte the saieD. W.
