Atlanta Relay Office
Ha Been Abandoned

on Friday the relay ONCE or Price q
Co in Atlanta was closed in obedience
tosinstructions sent out from the head
quarters of the concern. directing that
all accounts and debts be liquidated and
business cease on March 81.
The relay Office of Price & Co. in this
city was located in the Gould building on
Decatur street. and force of from to
S telegraph operators was employed in
working the special wires by which the
business of Price a. Co. was transacted
throughout the south.
This Office was essentially a private
one. and business was not done here in
the accepted sense of the word. Price
&, Co. were members of none of the eX-
changes. and no orders were received or
information given out at the local office.
So far as known. the only business
handled at the relay office was that of
the indicted company, including the Or
binary telegraphic work of the general
brokerage business as applied to stocks,
cotton. grain and provisions.
So far as Atlanta is concerned. how
ever. Price & Co. did not exist in a
commercial or business sense, as the Of
fee here has always been conducted as
a strictly private institution, maintained
for the purpose of relaying telegraphiC
business only.

Uncle Adlar' has never given much
time to worrying over that vexatious
problem What shall we do with our
presidents?" Ii is probable that at one
time the question did intrude itself into
his busy life, but only temporarily, for
Grover Cleveland was too big and strong
and healthy to encourage any such
thoughts in the mind of his vice presi-
dent.
But, without betraying any confidential
remarks from the Bloomington, ILL.,, DEM
ocrat, it can be said that much of Stew
enson's time since March A. 1897, has been
spent in trying to solve the problem,
What shall vice presidents do for

and he went back to his law Office, where

to solve the problem.
