that less than five years ago the necessary

twenty five years ago considerable wheat
was raised in Hancock county, and sew
ersl hundreds of barrels of -four were

But in a few years the farmers stopped

The Atlanta Constitution Bows TO
the Exingencies of War.

Atlanta, Ca, April BIN fulhlment Of
what was stated in these dispatches sew
eral days ago, the Evening Constitution
was suspended with this afternoons is
sue.
The suspension was brought about by
the failure Of the United Press Associa-
ton and the inability of the Constitution
Publishing Company to get a press SER
vice without acceding to the terms of the
Journal, (which holds the exclusive fran
chise of the Associated Press here.
The Journal, In addition to other bo-
muses., insisted that the Evening Constitu-
ton be withdrawn and the Constitution
had to capitulate.
The paper this afternoon announces its
suspension in an editorial explanation Of
these circumstances headed THE Exig-
ency of War
This ends the warmest newspaper fght
that Atlanta has had In years.
The Journal is disposed to feel elated
over the result. In the course of a dou-

the afternoon Constitution was started
the Journal, although fully equipped for
the publication Of a morning, as well as
an afternoon paper, and although possess
ing a mornnb franchise, the afternoon
franchise of the Associated Press, did
not begin the publication of a morning
paper for the reason that the proprietors
Of the Journal did not believe IL practi-
cable for the same company successfully
to publish q morning and afternoon edl-
ton at tins time.
Two weeks before the Evening Consti-
tuition was started, the proprietors OF the
Journal were already fully informed Of
the plans of New York and Boston papers,
by which we were assured OF the demise
OF the United Press. At the time men,
toned the proprietors OF the Journal had
no doubt that II they started a morning
paper they would certainly find their con-
temporary. the Constitution. with no news
service, either for ITS morning or after
noon paper.
"The conditions which we had antici-
pated were reached last Monday. when
the United Press went into the hands Of
a receiver. The Journal then had, for the
city OF Atlanta, the only morning and the
only afternoon franchise Of the only press
association remaining IN the United States.
and the most powerful news agency that
has ever existed In the world.

ernoon and morning paper with the great
advantage which It's exclusive franchise
gave Il over It's contemporary, but. as has
been said, the Journal considers Il Inn
