JOSEPH GRAY DAVIS
FOR THE LEVY COURT
SOUTH MILFORD MAN WAS NOMINATED
LAST SATURDAY BY SUSSEX RE-
PUBLICANS FOR THIS OFFICE.
MANY SPIRITED CONTESTS
mrs. LENA REED ANDERSON OF ELLEN
DALE RECEIVES NOMINATION FOR
RECORDER OF DEEDS.

Spirited contests for a number of
offices featured the Republican pri-
maries throughout Sussex county on
Saturday and the final results show
ed number of surprises.
One woman was named on the tick
ct, Mrs. Lena Reed Anderson, of Ell
lendale, who was unopposed for Re-
cOrder of Deeds.
Former Judge Henry c. Conrad, of
Georgetown, a candidate for Register
of Wills, was defeated by Charles A.
L. Lingo, of Millsboro, by a majority
of 913, according to the unofficial re-
turns.
Former Senator, Louis A. Drexler,
of Bethany Beach, was defeated for
Levy Court Commissioner in a field
of five candidates. Joseph G. Davis,
of Milford, won the nomination with
a plurality of 279.
One of the most spirited contests
in the county was that for the nomina-
ton for State Senator in the second
senatorial district to succeed Senator
George B. Insley, deceased. The I'M
official returns give J. Stanford Le-
Gates, of near Laurel, majority of %
over former Representative Joseph B.
Lord, of Seaford. The vote of the wo-
men is said to have figured largely in
the defeat of Mr.. Lord. Mr.. Lord was
a member of the legislature when the
special session was called to consider
the matter of suffrage for women and
he opposed bitterly the bill. The wo-
men of the district are said to have
held this against him. .,
The county ticket nominated fol-
lows: Levy Court Commissioner, JOS
eph G. Davis, Milford; Clerk of the
Peace, Lemuel A. Long, Frankford;
Register of Wills, Charles A. I. Lin

MILFORD WINS FROM
DOVER IN FOOTBALL

The football game in Dover last Fri
day, while only a practice game shows
that Milford High School will be well
represented on the gridiron this sea-
son. The DOver-Nilford game has
given many followers of the local
team an idea of just what brand of
football can be expected from the Mil
ford team. While Fridays game did
not bring forth any stars, still it
would only be fair to say that every
one should be satisfied by the show
ing made by the team as a whole.
The game was a remarkable game for
the first one of the season. No injur-
les were received and the team came
out of the contest in nearly as good
physical shape as when they entered.
This week will be given over to sig
nal practice and tackling. Tackling
seemed to be the teams weakest point
and if this condition can be remedied
we can look for victorious team.
Friday, October 9Th, Milford opens
it's season by playing Georgetown, in
Georgetown. While the local team will
most likely be outweighed, still weight
does not win football games and with
the easy-going, hard-working football
team the Milford High has put on the
gridiron this season, it will be nearly
for any team to beat them
in the State. Milford is going to have
a say in the State Championship this
year.
The first home game will be with
on October Goth. The sched-
ule that has been made to date, is as
follows:
October 6-GeorgetOwn-Away.
October 13-Laurel-Away.
October -Seaford-Home. N
October 27-Smyrna-Away.
October 31-Georgetown-Home.
November 10-Laurel-Home.
November 7-Seaford-Away.
November -Smyrna-HOme.
The Milford High School football
.eam is being coached by former
Delaware star, Joseph Rothrock, of
1aston, Pa, having graduated from
he University of Delaware last year.
With some hard practice, and COM
)etent coach, Milford High should put |
/ team in the field this season. Let's |
Ill get together and support the boys. |

BUD GOES TO PHILADELPHIA

1T was in the year of our Lord, 1922,
September 29th, that a long-necked
printer, packed up his grip with nary
flivver, and stole away in the frosty
morning, while the rest of the town
was enjoying it's fragrant sleep.
This hOmbre carried the monogram
of BUD on the right side of mis- liver;
we mean gizard. Arriving in the city
of Brotherly Divorces, he had an aw-
full time lodging pedestrians, autos,
trolleys, trucks and all other vehicles
of gigantic size. But eventually he
grew accustomed to the noises of the
large city and when it was time to
return to the town he loved best, he
was gosh-darn glad to return to the
native hearth where corn-stock-buck
instead of wood alcohol flow regularly
and so this is the story Of BUD-the
long-necked printer.

LIQUOR, CRAP GAME,
FIGHT, THEN DEATH
THIS COMBINATION WAS FOLLOWED BY
ARREST OF MAN ACCUSED OF HAV-
ING DONE The KILLING.
HORACE G. FLEMING, VICTIM
A FORMER HARRINGTON MAN, BADLY
BEATEN UP By. JOHN MITCHELL,
DIED AT HOSPITAL.

Horace Fleming, aged A years, a
former resident of Harrington, but
who for the past few years has resid-
ed in Philadelphia, died at the Mil
ford Emergency Hospital, Sunday af-
ternoon, following fight near the
Snyder Canning Company's plant, at
Greenwood. A man who gave the
name of John Mitchell, aged SO years,
was arrested at Clayton by Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Officers Burke and
Cole, late Sunday Afternoon, charged
with having beaten Fleming, who died
from the wounds inflicted. Mitchell
had ridden freight train to the Kent
county town when apprehended. He
was taken to Dover and held for train
riding. At the time of the arrest
Fleming had not died.
Fleming was found on the ground in
critical condition, and taken to the
Office of DR.. Hunter, of Greenwood,
who had him sent to the Milford
Hospital. He was terribly
beaten about the head, and the skull
was crushed. He died shortly after
having been admitted, and the body
was removed to the undertaking es-
the fight, Mitchell went to
the Office of DR.. Hunter where he had
several bad cuts dressed.
On Monday morning Mitchell was
taken to the Office of Deputy Attorney
General Earl D. Wiley in Dover and |
told his story of the affair." |
His face and back were cut, the |
wounds having been inflicted by Flem-
ing, he asserted. One of the inife jabs |
penetrated close to a lung. Mitchell |
said that he, Fleming and another |
man whose name he didn't know had
been playing crap outside the bunk
house at the cannery, and dispute |
arose between Fleming and himself
over some money in the "pot." Nit
chell said he grabbed the money,
which infuriated Fleming, who start
I'd after him with knife and jabbed
him several times as they struggled.
Fleming lost the knife as Mitchell
)roke away from him, the latter as
serted, and then grabbed a hatchet
md dashed toward Mitchell. They
struggled again, Mitchell says, and he
Knocked Fleming down and rolled ov-
II the ground on which were pieces
# glass in places Mitchell told Dep
lty Attorney General Wiley that he
lsed only his fists in fighting with
fleming and he repeatedly asserted
hat he struck Fleming with no weap-
ms. He left Fleming lying on the
round and went away he said be-
ause he did not want Fleming to fol-
Ow him and attack him again. S
Mitchell said he went to the rail-
Oad station to buy train ticket, but
freight came along about that time ]
nd he~boarded it. Mitchell's state $
lent was put in writing and he sign
d it. A copy will be sent to Deputy ;
.ttorDey General Houston at George :
own, and Mitchell is being held to {
wait the action of Mr.. Houston.
