Do our merchants ever stop to
realize what a powerful force in
business an idea is ? If you, by
withdrawing your advertising
and in other ways cutting down
expenses. give out the idea that
business is dull, will not your
customers begin to think so too
and follow your example by post
poning their purchases ? There
ought to be no dull times in the
business Of an active and pro-
gressive merchant, so have a
boom on in your store the year
round. One of the best ways to
get it and to keep tits TO adver-
tise. Let buyers know gyou are
awake and doing business all the
time, summer as well as winter,
Monday as well as Saturday.
1t should not be an overly hard
task for the Democrats TO cap
ture the House of Delegates this
fall, even leaving out of consid-
Grafton the probability of a gen
eral Democratic landslide. Two
years ago in a republican year,
the Democratic candidate for
governor carried nineteen coun-
ties which have thirty members
of the lower house, and what has
been done once can certainly be
done again. Six counties were
carried by the Republicans by
| pluralities of less than 100 and
have eleven delegates in the low
er house. These counties are
certainly fighting ground, and
bring the possible Democratic
representation up to forty one,
only three less than majority.
Hancock now has a democratic
delegate and may send another.
Barbour, another county not emu
merated i'm the above list, has a
q democratic delegate Kanawha
and Harrison, they say, are ripe
for Democratic success. while it
should be quite possible to re-
! deem Pocahontas. 1t Us a con-
Iservative estimate that the Dem
ocrats have an even chance of
electing at least fifty members
of the lower house. Parkers-

CURED to insure the meet were dis
cussed and the most favorable time for

best time for the meeting.
1t was decided" said B. f. Schles-
niger, manager Of the Emporium and
president Of the association. that the
merchants would like. to have an avf-
alton meet in San Francisco and would
help the project along. but the meet
should not be held at the time sug-
gested. in December before Christmas.
Any time after Christmas would be
satisfactory. but an aviation meet held

away from the shopping districts" said
Davis
Louis Samuels of d. Samuels & Co.
said: l sincerely hope that no celebra-

cember prior to. Christmas. 1t would

GRAYS MUST PAY
CRIPPLED WORKER
Contractors Technical Defense
Against Aged Mans Claims
Shattered by Mogan

Harry n. Gray and George r. Gray
must honor their repudiated pronissory
note for $1,000 given to Samuel c.
Clark, an old man whose hands were
ruined in a premature explosion at the
Castro street quarrfes, In settlement OF
his claim for damages Their technical
defense that Clark gave them no con-
sideration for the note was blown to
atoms In a decision rendered yester-
day by Judge Mogan in giving Clark
judgment for the $1,000 and COSTS
The Gray brothers did not deny their
signatures to the note. Neither did
they deny executing the note to Clark
They merely raised the point that their
note was worthless because Clark at
the time he was crippled for life was
employed by the Gray Brothers crushed
rock company. a corporation, and not
by the Grays personally. Their mother
they testified. at the time of the acci-
dent, owned nearly all the stock in that
company. although they admitted the
shares had been returned to them
Harry Gray is president of the COM
pany and George Gray secretary.
Clarks pitifully MANNED hands were
held up in court during the trial of
the case by Attorney Matt Sullivan
who openly made the charge that the
Grays were sneaking behind a technical
defense to escape their obligations to
a helpless old man. C1arks hands are
utterly useless, some of the fingers hav-
ing been blown off and others shattered
and bent .
In exploding the defense Of mo con-
sideration," Judge Mogan said he be-
lieved the evidence of Clark that he
signed and gave to the Grays a release
of liability for damages. Both the
Grays in their testimony denied any
knowledge of such release, but
Clark's testimony was directly cor
roborated by Attorney John Tyrrell
who was witness to his signature.
Judge Mogan also found that the
Grays. by their omission to tell Clark
that the note should be signed by the
crushed rock company, misled him as to
certain essential facts. Under section
1852 of the code OF civil procedure
which prevents q person beneiting by
deception Of this nature, even when the
deception consists Of omission to state
a fact. the defendants are estopped
from successfully pleading lack Of con
sideration-
If the decision had been against Clark
he would have been utterly without
remedy, inasmuch as the accident oc-
CURED more than two years ago, and
the time within which he may sue for
damages has expired.

charges that he collected pay for pris-

the outside, which is felony under
the law; that of 1870 minor cases out
of which he realized feed bills, 1900
were originated by the men in the en-
