The Review learns with regret
that 7. Ed and Bruce A. Nef are
to leave the city permanently. Al
though the retirement of the senior
member Of the firm of Nef Bros.
has been announced some time ago
yet the firms name and business
remained unchanged, and their
many friends hoped they would
continue to be part of Sistersville's
commercial life. However, they
have placed their lines in other
places, and will, for the time, at
least cease to be part of our COM
mercial life.
Ed Neff came to Sistersville in
1895 followed by his brother a year
later. At first they were employed
by Mccoy Brothers, where they
remained some eighteen months.
During their employment In that
large department store, the busi'
ness ability that has made such a
sigal success of their subsequent
ventures, was demonstrated. At
the same time they found a large
acquaintance which afterwards rea'
dily and easily developed into a
business clientele when they
launched their own bark on the
business sea.
In September. 1897, the brothers
purchased the Grocery store OF 1.
N. Sksggs on Diamond street,
where Deloe's store now Is. From
the start success was theirs Old
friends and new flooded to their es
tablishment attracted by the
attractive business methods of this
new firm. The first venture was
such a success. that soon they be-
gan looking for new and larger
quarters. The opportunity came
when the new Wells building was
projected and upon Its completion
they at once opened up the largest
and most metropolitan of many
stores In the citys Their shelves
and counters groaned under such a
stock of goods as has rarely If ever
been seen In a grocery store In a
city of this size. Some Of the wise
acres shook their heads and pro
phesied all sorts of catastrophles for
the Ne ifs, but they went quietly

For Years This Store

has shown the largest Ladies Ready

the country, and this Spring the stock
is larger than than ever. Only one
reason for this, the constant broadening
out of this business necessitated it. 1t
logically follows that our purchasing
oweris correspondingly greater. Hence
our ability to serve our patrons better
this season than ever before. Nothing
startling about our low prices, ANY dealer

Enterprise and Merit the Backbone OfthiS
Vast Business

The supremacy of this store is not
due to chance or accident. 1t has been
striven for. We tried hard to succeed.
But success here does not stifle effort.
We not only rigidly maintain the high
standard to which we have raised our
merchandise, but better it whenever
betterment is possible.
We improve as we go along-have
been doing it since in business, until
now. We place before the people of
Sistersville line of merchandise that
has every fine point of good quality.
Even our lowest priced goods possess
exceptional good merits.

County Central Committee.

The delegates to the next County Conven-
ton will name members of the County Cen
trail Committee to serve the ensuing two years
In the past this has been the last work OF the
delegates and the committeeman have been
named after hurried consultation. and some
times after part ofthe district delegations have
left. Usually men OF good standing aud re
spectabihty have been selected, but some OF
them have not been active party workers
Something more than high character Is wanted
in committeeman. This is essential, but added
to that should be political activity.
The Central Committee should be composed
of men who will take leading part in their
distriets-men who will look after the regis
tration of Democratic voters who are entitled
to register and have not done so, and the
strieking of the registration books Of all Re
publicans who have moved ont Of the district.
The matter of registratio" is Of great I'M
portanee, and active political workers are
needed on the Central Committee TO look
after it. When the Democratic vote Is fully
registered, and the registration books purged
of the names Of all Republicans not entitled
TO vote, the committeeman should go ener-
getically to work to get out the Democratic
voters on election day. Districts should be
blocked of. each committeeman taking a
certain territory, and every Democrat be per
sonally visited and impressed with the nm
porlance of going to the polls and voting the
whole Democratic ticket. On election day
the committeeman should he a, the polls to
look after voters aud be ready to go after any
who are ,ardy in coming out to vote.
A position on the Central Committee should
be considered post Of honor and one Of
party confidence. Men who accept places on
the committee should feel in duty bound TO
render the best service to the party possible.
The delegates to the County Convention
should look about their districts for men not
only Of high character aud responsibility, but
for men who will enter actively inso campaign
york as we'll They should be meu who are
in touch with the people and know party con
ditions, so as to report inlelhgenily when
called upon by the chairman Of the committee
for information as TO the status Of he party
and the prospects Of polling the party strength.
They should know whether there is indiler-
ence or enthusiasm; whether there Is any de-
lection aud the cause Of Il; whether any can
didate is weak, aud why. and know fully how
political conditions are. committee thus
made up will very materially aid the ticket
and be largely instrumental in scoring victory

Not a Factionist-

In some quarters an effort has been made
ganization candidate for the Democratic nom.
ination for Governor. He has distinctly
stated, and emphasized il. that be Is candi-
date seeking the support OF Democrats gener-
ally. He has supported every Democratic
ticket, national, slate and county, since he
rezshed the voting age, and be proposes to do
The same in November. whether be Is the
standard bearer or not. Four years ago when
he failed in his ambition TO be the nominee
for Governor, he not only placed the name Of
his successful rival before the State eonven-
ton, but gave him and the whole ticket bis
loyal support,
This is no time to talk of organization or
organization. Such discussion will not
tend to solidify the party, and to win in No
Sember the whole Democratic vote in the
State must be polled for the State and local
tickets. Mr.. War6eld regards the issues the
most momentous and the election the most
important since 1867, and the Democrats
should not halt to consider factions or other
unimporiant matters. No mistakes must be
made if the party is to win; no risks taken; no
expediencies tried; no divisions started. If
Mr.. Warfeld should be nominated he will
make vigorius and unceasing contest until
the polls are closed. If elected, as he would
be, and by handsome majority, he would
labor TO give the State a clean administration,
conservative, yet progressive.
He asks the support of all Democrats, re-
gardless Of past differences, and it looks very
probable he will receive enough to secure the
nomination.
1t has also been said that Mr.. Warfeld
is al the head of a trust. The Fidelity
and Deposit Company, of which hr was
was the organizer aud is now president. is
anything else than trust, as trusts are com
monty viewed. His company does not man
uiacture anything; does not sell anything 1t
is simply a company that goes upon the bonds
of railroad employees, clerks, cashiers, admin
istrators, executors, guardians and others who
are required to give bonds. Before the or
ganization of such a company in Maryland
only men of means could undertake the set.
Element of large estates and public officers.
clerks and others often found ii difficult to
secure bondsmeu. The Fidelity and Deposit
Company, instead of being trust in the or
binary view of such, is leveler of men. The
poor, if honest, will be as readily bonded as
the well-to-do. The company is a public ben
efacfor, and those who have mistaken the
character of the company and do not know
the difference between industrial combines,
called trusts. and bonding companies, should
investigate the matter.

NEGROES IN THE NAVY.
White Sailors Object To Serving
With Black Men.

WASHINGTON August 1.-The negro, as a
mart of the enlisted force of the United States

be the policy of the recruiting agencies of the
navy to discourage the enlistment OF black men
for service on American war vessels. A Sys.
TEN of elimination Is to he inauguraIed, and
while it is to be Put into operation gradually
it viii eventually weed ont every negro serv-
ing before the mast, and the enlisted force of
the navy will be composed exclusively Of
white men.
Officers of the navy are not willing now To
discuss the subject, for fear OF raising protests
and criticism, but it Is believed the idea of
white navy is to be realized. notwithstanding
anv criticism that NAV be made
At present there are about %. 600 enlisted
men in the navy. II Is estimated that about
500 of these men are black. II IS probable
that only few enlistments Of negroes will be
made during the next three or four years
and as soon as the terms of those now serving
expire they will be allowed to 90. Thus the
number leaving the service viii he greater
than those entering it, aud IL time all the ne
