Short Sketch of
John "A. Horton

/ cOIlIl "A. HOTGOIl%
John A. Horton, of Bolton.
now a candidate for Congress
from this district, was born for
!ty-one years ago on a farm near
Neals Greek church in Ander-@
son county. When he was old
enou III he worked on the farm
in summer and went to school
after crops were laid by, and in
this wav prepared himself for
college. He worked his way
through school, teaching during
vacation, and graduated from
the Patrick Military Institute in
Anderson. In this institution
under the instruction Of iCol. j.
B. Patrick, the great and good
christian teacher, young Horton
had the principles of honesty,
honor and duty in all things
deeply impressed upon him.
These principles had been taught
him by christian parents in the
home. Now they were more
permanently fixed in the very
foundation Of his character and
when Horton left the school he
went 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 selling
goods and he succeeded.
H. When the Farmers Bank was
organized at Belton in 1908 MI.
Horton 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 we'll and has accom-
modated many farmers in the
community, as we'll as others.
People who have dealt with his
bank will tell YOU that they
have had a square deal.
]. When the subject Of this
sketch was quite boy it was
my pleasure to receive him into
the fellowship OF Meals Creek
church, and 1 am glad to hear
that he has been a consistent
member and active worker in
the church and Sunday School
While every man ought to
and1nust stand on his own mer-
its, vet it is not against a man
to have good and honorable kin
people. So in the case of John
"A. Horton, he has good people
on his fathers and mothers
side. His father and grand -fa-
theirs were successful farmers
He has two uncies who are hon
ored and successful LAWYERS in
Atlanta, Ca, and his brothers
are successful business mon.

THE STOMACH PUMP AS
A MISSIONARY ASsE +

The Nauru people CT the south
Gea Islands love a feast more than
anything in the world, and although
they must starve for weeks af(er-
wards as a result of waste of food
on such occasions, they pay the price
gladly. They actually gorge them
selves with food at such feasts.
When a man has treated himself to
four or five pounds of corned beef, a
bowl of rice and a number of ship
biscuits, and has washed the whole
mess down with a few mouthfuls of
"Snow Flake Brand" kerosene, the
missionary is likely to be called cut
before morning to relieve an intense

tives have acquired quite a taste for
kerosene. and on several occasions

the papers of her pupils in an exam

Digestion is the process of taking
the food through the mouth until il

The saliva glands are in the walls
of the stomac. They produce the

The stomac is large organ

The stomac is a bag in between

Circulation is like the pipes in the

Circulation is blood going through

Tonsils are in the nose; they are

THE DRESS OF WOMEN
AND ITS REAL MEANING

Women dress the way they want
to dress. They need no instructions
as to modesty or propriety. From a
very early age they understand per-
fectly their powers both Of allure
ment and of defense.
Women who expose their bodies
know that they are doing it, and
they know exactly why they are do
ing it. So do men.
Modesty comes from within. I'M
modesty comes from thence, like
wise. Thorough consisty in women's
dress is wholly consistent with the
utmost of feminine beauty and at
Effectiveness. The sex appeal is quite
another matter.
For uncounted generations, women
have been chattels Of men. We know
what that means. The day of finer,
truer companionship between men
and women is but just dawning. The
movement has not progressed very
far, but It is going ahead every day
The distance to be traversed, how
ever, is still great. Meanwhile, the
instinct to appeal to the purely phys
ical in man will persist, and women
who know no better will dress them
selves accordingly-tNew York

DEVIL WORSHIP IN INO
Of The ABSENTEE GOO
Africans Think Creator "A Long
Ways Off," But That De.
mons Are Everywhere.

How would you like to live in a
country where everybody worships
the devil-where God is though to
be "a long way off," but deadly evil
spirits everywhere? John A. Stock
we'll, of Lake Charles, Louisiana,
who recently went to Central Africa
as missionary, found himself in
the midst of just such a country. or
the religion of the African he writes:
"The native African believes in
the personality of God. the Creator,
and thinks. of Him as a beneficent
being. He is also sure of the exist
ence of the devil and of a multitude
of lesser demons. But here all SIM
ilarity ceases between our belief and
his. For while he thinks that God
is perhaps kindly disposed toward
him, he believes that after He ere
ated the world and set it going, He
went long ways off and is not in
the least concerned. about mundane
affairs, but that evil spirits are busy
everywhere.
Hence, he thinks it necessary to
offer sacrifices and in every way try
to keep the demons appeased. So
We find in many back yards and in
the streets little huts, miniature
counterparts of their own houses, in
which the people put offerings to
the devil whenever they desire his
special care. 1t is difficult to con-
ceive of a more degrading system of
religion than this; it does not take a
great amount of acumen to perceive
that to worship the author of evil,
must of necessity lead to everything
that is bad.
eve have not yet found any traces
of idolatry, the nearest approach be-
ing the use made of the charms of
the medicine men. Medicine, howev-
er-the African name for charms
is to be seen in abundance. aud con-
slsts OF every imaginable thlng. Bits
of wood, an iron ring, the tip of a
goats horn, feathers, skins of ami
mails, sap from trees, or even earth
may be used as such.
"Of course the rites that call for
human sacrifice have been done
away with since the land has come
under the control of white men. but
enough remains to fill our hearts
with sadness and cause us to pray
the more earnestly that the church
in the homeland may wake up to the
tragic need of this, the darkest of all
lands. that has waited so long for
the followers of Christ to obey His
last and greatest command. How
much longer must they wait, and
wby?"

CENSORED LETTER FROM
somewhere At SEA"
PeriIous Voyage On a British
Ship-Constant Lookout
~ For Submarines.

An interesting story of perilous
voyage through the Meditbrranean
Sea on board a British ship comes
from Miss Ella r. Graham, British
missionary on the way to India.
Her letter is dated Somewhere at
Sea" and bears other marks of the
military censor's hand. Miss Graham
says
1--WE have come so far safely, and
hope to be in in a day or
two. We were not allowed to stop
at--,but passed 100 miles off,
at full speed, in the night, with
lights out. We have one big gun
mounted ready for action, with four
gunners always on the lookout for
submarines. Life-boat drill goes on
regularly. We have all got our num-
bers, and at the given alarm must
have our belts on and be in our
places at once. About twenty SOL
diers stand in front of each boat,

with our decks every second man
seizes it, holds it steady, and every
other man helps us in. The alarm
rang out the other afternoon when
we were all sitting reading, sewing,
etc. Instantly We dropped everything,
flew to our cabins, and were in our
places, with lifejackets on, in one
minute. We felt quite proud of our
selves. The weather is calm and sun
ny in the Mediterranean, but there
is always so much excitement in the
air that it is difficult for one to set
tie to reading or work.
I'VE were told quietly last night
after dinner that no one was to go
to bed. but to be in readiness, and to
wear all valuables on our persons. So
We spent the night in pitch darkness
on deck, each one dressed ready for
instant action, and the boats loosed
and provisioned. But the night passed
quietly, and We were so glad when
the tension was over. Everyone is so
plucky. There is not the slightest
sign of fear or even nervousness in
anyone"
