The Columbus Progressive Union,
an Industrial organization that brought
to the city something like 100000
worth of factories last year, is to be
revived and an effort made to do
equally as much during the present
year. Columbus made an excellent
record last year and is becoming one
of the most prominent manufacturing
cities of the State There is still plenty
of work for an active Industrial or
ganization to do, and the city should
not let the Progressive Union die by
any means.

West Point is happy in the contem
plation of two new railroads. One is
the Pensacola road for which several
charters have been granted, and more
than one turned down, and the other
is an extension of the Illinois Central
from that point to the coal fields OF
Alabama Either of them would prove
a valuable acquisition to that progress.

MAN ACCUSED OF
STEALING GRIPS
EDDISoN ALLEGED TO HAVE CAR
RIED OFF LUGGAGE FROM THE
UNION PASSENGER STATION.
SAYS HE'S AN Ex-PoLIcEMAN.

]. D. Eddison, a white man of respect
able appearance was locked in the city
Jail last night, charged with stealing
grips from the union depot, and thereby
hangs tale.
Eddison was seen to take a grip and
leave the depot Wednesday night. Some
time later a grip was reported to have
been stolen and the police received de-
scription of the suspicious look character
having been seen to leave the waiting
room with a grip answering to the one
stolen.
Yesterday two more grips were stolen
from the waiting room at the union sta
ton. Some time later the police station
was notified that grip had been pawned
al a saloon for a drink of whisky The
description given correspondent with that
given of the man who stole the grip the
night before and Eddison was soon dis
covered and arrested by Officer Waldrop.
At the police station he has three
charges against him, that of stealing
three distinct and separate grips, each one
of them worth more than S. and one esti-
mated to be worth at least $25 but this
is not all the sad stor. connected with
the affair. The grip that Eddson pawned
for drink and which possibly led most
directly to his arrest was not locked and
upon being opened was found to contain
a quart of fine whisky. Eddison had
probably taken 1t for granted that the
grip was locked He refused to discuss
the case when informed that he had bar
tered respectable drunk' for drink,
He claims TO be an ex-policeman but
this is discounted by the police officials
at the city hall for obvious reasons.
