OUT The COUNTY.
An unusually large number of ap-
plicants have filed their names for
nomination to the various county Of
ices, for which the Republicans will
ballot in direct primaries tomorrow
afternoon in Sussex county. One Of
the most interesting fights in the
county will probably be that for the
nomination for Levy Court Commits
sioner. Seven candidates have appear
ed in the field for this nomination, and
the contests will be hard fought. JOS
eph Gray Davis, of Milford, has filed
his name for this Office and has Sc
cured the endorsement of all factions
in Cedar Creek Hundred. Milford has
never had Levy Court Commissioner
since the new three commission form
of county government was inaugur-
ated six years ago.
Senator Asa Bennett, of Frankford,
and Senator Carey Palmer, of Milton,
have both filed their names for re-
nomination. Both men are opposed in
their respective Senatorial Districts
and the fights should be interesting. !

fled for the Office of Register of Wills, |
while Mrs. Lena Anderson, of Ellen |
dale, who is at present Deputy Re-
corder of Deeds, has filed her name |
for this Office. Should she receive the |
