A GRAPHIC LIE NAILED

The issue of the Graphic of Oct
l6 represents in one of its articles
that the Journal charged an ex-
cessive price for advertising the
list of nominations for the primary
election, stating that our bill of
Sl57 80 was for that item alone
This is deliberate lie emanating
from sickly brain. Our charge
for the service mentioned was
1874 40, exactly the same as that
submitted by the Del Norte Pros
pector, and this, together with
other items which included vari-
GUS notices apart from the list of
nominations, totaled our bill for
the month to Sl57. 90.
