"Of course he said It was not a party measure. Ho will say that when he wants to lay the blame upon the party, but If ho really wanted a measure he would find he had a conscience."

GREEN STRIPE RCOTCII Asfe for the Non refillatle Bsttle Ttth Orsen Strips, Andrsw Uihtr Co., Edinburgh. Aiv. J. Skelton Williams's Pnrt. In this Democratic gold movement John Skclton Williams. Comptroller of the Currency, has played n humble part. Mr. Newman says Comptroller Will iams is a warm friend of his, having gone to school with him, and Newman has been a frequent visitor at the Comptroller's office. That, however. Is an unimportant detail. A more inter esting fact Is that Mr. Williams, when ho was Assistant Secretary of tho Treasury, hnd tho chief oxpert of the United States Assay Ofllco so to North Carolina at tho Government's expense and Inve.-rtlgate tho Newman gold mine. Somo of tho Democratic Senators availed themselves of tho results of thnt visit, but It should bo said that the re port mado by the experts, though not entirely unfavorable, was hardly aa rosy as tho representations that had been made, Ofllclats of the Treasury Department say It Is very unUauuI, but not Irregular, for tho Government to send a man out nt its expense to investigate a privately owned gold mine. Mr. Williams says he was moved to send tho expert solely because the question of tho re opening of the United States assay of fice at Charlotte, N. C, hud come up and ho desired to ascertain whether or not there had been any development In gold production there that would requlro such an Important step. Tho report of the expert, In Mr. Williams's opinion, did not Justify such a move by the Gov ernment. Senntor Overman's Activity. Senator Overman, ns Treasury offi cials recall tho Incident, wns the man at whose request the reopening of the assay office und the Investigation of tho mine wero taken up. All these In cldenta would, of course, pass unnoticed were It not for the unfortunnto douhlo headed mlstako, which has resulted In tho sending out of tho letters on tho official stationery. The mining property that lias aroused so much Democratic enthusiasm Is that of the Gold Illll Consolidated Company, whose mine Is at Gold Hill, Rowan county, N, C. This company Is the suc cessor of the old Gold Hill Copper Com pany of lamented memory. Tho latter ui described In the Copper Hand Hook, a recognized authority on such mat ters, as "a notorious promotion that caught many Wall Street operators," but that Is merely a matter of history. A new company has been organized with Walter Georgo Newman as presi dent nd with an authorized capital oC 5,000,000, par IE a shore. Tho letter
