REVISED AGREEMENT DISPLAcEs.
National Baseball Commission Re
 vokes Former Action.

Cincinnati, May 3.-The National Base ball commission today gave out the fol- lowing notice to all national agreement clubs and players relative to the revised national agreement:
 Some weeks ago the committee pro- mulgated the revised national agreement and had incorporated therein various re- quests and changes that had been agreed on by the commission and the representa- lives of the National association and American association and the Eastern league at Cincinnati in January last.
 This revised national agreement was submitted to the American association and Eastern league with the suggestion that both these leagues ratify and ap- prove it. Neither one of them has done so and for that reason a notice is now made public by the commission that such agreement Is set aside as an entirety and the committee will operate in the future under the national agreement as in force and effect previous to the meet ing of the national commission in Gin cinnati in January last; and that no league or club operating under organized baseball will be required to pay atten- tion to any of the new features embodied in the revised agreement herein re- ferred to-"
 The application of Player Harry Cur tis for reinstatement was granted by the commission without the infiiction of a fine. Curtis was placed on the ineligible list for failing to report to the New York National league club last year. Curtis wished to finish his law study at Notre Dame university and for that reason did not report to the New York club.

REVIEW OF WEEK.
Orchard Company Is Capitalized At
 $175,oo0.

Columbus, Ga, May 4.-(Special. 1.-The Georgia and Alabama Industrial Index will say tomorrow in it's regular weekly issue:
 "The application for charter for d s175,- 600 orchard company at Americus, Ga., the incorporators being Ohio and Pennsyl- vania people, is an interesting illustration of the substantial basis of the peach in dustry in Georgia. The company will take over, develop and enlarge an orchard already containing over 100,OO peach and other fruit trees. Another announcement of the past week, also showing the grow ing diversity in agricultural interests in this section, is that a company Is being formed at Savannah to engage in the growing of celery near that city, and will send to Michigan for experts to con- duct the farm.
 New methods in public education in the south are well illustrated by the fact that provision for manual training on a rather elaborate scale is made in the plans for a new GOO school building in Montgomery contract for the erection of which is to be let during the present month Contracts were awarded for the erection of school buildings in Cullman county, Alabama, and LaGrange, Ga., while Griffin, Ga, and Hefiin Ala, both voted for the issuance of school bonds.
 "A meeting has been called for May Il in the Coweta courthouse at Newman, Ga, to formally organize the new West ern of Georgia railway, for the building of which charter has just been granted. The city of Rome, Ga, is offered a new railroad if it will give a cash bonus of $25,000 and a committee Is out getting up the money. In the meantime dirt is fly ing right along on the Valdosta and Moultrie railroad down in south Georgia, and in connection with the building of the road the establishment of a new town midway between the two cities is under contemplation.
 Birmingham has under serious con- sideration the building of a 5000 l- brary. A s250,0O0 cotton manufacturing corporation at Montgomery, a blaming mill for Thomaston Ga., and the enlarge ment of a harness and vehicle factory at Atlanta are among the industrial items reported. Sixty thousand dollars cash was paid for a Birmingham residence es- tabishing a new record in that city. Hotels are reported for Cuthbert, Ga., and Vidalia, Ga, and a church for Jas per, Ala. Continued activity in the estab- lishment of rural telephone systems is noted. Fourteen new corporations were chartered during the week, with mini mum capitalization of $605,000.'
