the biggest thing of its kind ever seen
in Dover. Charley S. is a veteran, and
knows Just how to do these things.
Bob White came up Thursday with
gripsack full of letters and a modest
little delegation, and Joseph Marvel,
father of Secretary of State Marvel,
sent delegation Friday. Governor
Reynolds Monday appointed ex-GOv-
ernor Stockley of Georgetown register
of wills in and for Sussex county. This
contest ends one of the most interest
| ing struggles for the Office ever known

/ will enable Governor StOckley to round
out a varied experience in official life.

Sussex county in the early ffties. In
1856 he was elected sheriff. In 1872 he
was elected State senator, serving dur
ing the sessions of 1873 and 1875, the
latter session as speaker In 1882 he
