PASSING OF AN
INFERIOR PLANET
q q q
J. Hall Brumsey's DeLand Mercury
Laid to Rest in the Journal
istic Graveyard.

The demise of the DeLand Mercury
will fail to arouse any feeling of sympa-
thy from the general public or from any
one more closely connected with journal
ism. 1t posed as free-lance in attack
ing men and measures where there was
no ground or Justification for its base
and Infamous assertions The words it
spoke in advocacy of d cause would
have proven more potent for that cause
had they never been published i'll the
Mercury. Its promoter lacked he man
hood to make good the columns Of bill
lingsgate it contained if brought to bay
by some indignant and outraged citizen.
1t was dismal failure throughout its
short-liyed career and richly deserved Il
premature decay and death.
The Volusia County Record pays tins
brief tribute to the defunet planet:
The Mercury has turned up its toes
to the daisies and passes away IN
mourned and unwept. 1t tried to fill 4
mission, but made 4 dismal failure. 1t
contributed largely 10 the defeat of the
cause for which it was established. 1t
was no credit to the community, and
was a stencil in the noStrilS of people
while 1t lived.

MAY TAKE X
CITY CENSUS.
Effort Being Made to Induce the City
Council to Take an Official Census
of the City of DaYtOna.

How many residents has Daytona?
This is question hard to answer
Most cities of this size take L census
every year, but Daytona has not been
following in these footsteps. An official
census has never been taken by the
city. 1t is true that the State takes .
census every ten years. but experience
has shown that the last census taken by
the State was not authe attic.
The outlay OF cash for al official CELL
suS would not be very great, and the
matter may be taken up 10y the City
Fathers next Monday evening.

INDUCING IN

Groundless Fears HarbOred by the St.

Auto Races in January.

The Ormond- Daytona Beach in Flori-
da should be fine place for the eoroners'
union to hold a convention about jan

gather there then, and if all the entrants
carry out their announced intention of
annlhllauhg space at the risk of their
lives the course will probably be

derbilt cup event fresh in the public
mind it would be good idea for the
promoters to throw every possible safe
gaurd about the Florida meet-St.

For the information Of our st. Paul
contemporary the Gazette-News will
state that such precautions are taken to
guard against accidents and eXtraordl-
nary safeguards made for policing the

trials that it is well nigh impossible for

unfortunate death having no connection
with these events and can be in no wise
attributed 10 that source. If the News
writer who penned the above excerpt
will attend the January meet he will re-
turn TO his home convinced that it would
be i useless precaution for the corOnors'
union to assemble iii this locality on the
occasion mentioned, as they would find
nothing doing i'll their line; but would
find it more profitable for that body to
convene ut that time in st. Paul, where

No action was taken on the matter
other than to refer it to the council as q
committee of the whole, with instruc
tions to report at the regular meeting
next Monday evening. The disposition
of the council seems to be to enter into
4 one-year contract at 800 per arc light,
but the electric light interests will not
accept a contract for one year for less
than Sl25 per arc light. The objection
OF some members of the council to en-
tring into five-year contract Is that it
ties the city up for that period and
would not permit it to install its OWL
system should it see fit to do so. The
council seems DESTROYS to get the opln-
ions of some of the prominent citizens
on the matter, and would no doubt wei
come opinions at the meeting Monday
