ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.1
CHARLESTON, August 31.-It is an
nounced positively to-day that company
has been organized and will at once enter
upon the manufacture of cotton bagging
from the fber of the pine straw. The
factory will be built at Summerville, %
miles from here, the land having been given
for the purpose. The site is in the thickest
pine forest in the State. The privilege has
also been offered the company of gathering
pine straw from a tract of territory
covering thousands of acres, so that the
material for the manufacture of bagging will
cost nothing but the collecting and hauling
it. It is understood that the S. c.
Railway has offered the new concern
the free gift of gathering pine cones over
all the lands owned by that company. Sey-
eral bales of cotton, covered with pine straw
bagging. were received here last year and
subjected to the severest test Of screw,
hook, fire and water. and stood it
even better than common jute bagging.
The new factory is said to be an otfshoot of
the Acme Factory, at Wilmington, N. c.,
and is expected to begin work as soon as the
building and machinery are erected.

Brown was found at his home

"a years old, of medium height, and would
be easily taken for a religious enthusiast.
He quoted the Bible by the yard to the

Fort YATES, N. D., August a.-John
Grass, the great chief of the Blackfeet Sioux,
is seriously i'll and is not expected to live.
He has telegraphed to the Cheyenne Agency
for White Swan, his mother-in-law, to come
to his bedside.
The chief. whose death is now momentarl-
ly expected, was one of the greatest men OF
the Sioux nation. He was good fighter,
but was more renowned in council. He
was shrewd and intelligent observer of
events, and devoted his whole life to the
best interests OF his tribe. John Grass is
chief of the Blackfeet Sioux, and Supreme
Judge Of the nation. He is about AZ years
old, is nearly six feet tall, and perfectly
formed specimen of the Indian race. In
personal appearance he is man of q siDgu-
iarly pleasing face, with large, dark and
brilliant eyes and fine white teeth.
His manners sre most suave and courtly,
and he displays great tact and shrewdness.
He is a Christian, and dresses in white
mems clothes, and takes great pride In his
all over the Northwest, but he has steadily
refused to be photographed in Indian cos
tune He generally wears large overcoat
and fur cap. He still wears moccasins
and keeps his hair plated. There are no
Indians to-day like those so graphically de-
scribed in Cooper's novels or the Indian
tales that used to delight theaverage Ameri-
can schoolboy of 80 years ago, but John
Grass comes as near to the ideal Indian OF
the novel, the good Indian, the noble red
man. as anyone of his race now living
Among the whites with whom he has come
In contact ne has made many firm friends.
General Custer, knew him and liked him
very well, and General Crook was also one
of his admirers.
John Grass possessed the entire confidence
of his tribe, and although he was terrible
fighter in his day. his people paid equal
respect to his judgment in time of peace.
In the death Of John Grass the Sioux Ma
ton will lose its most gifted statesman and
q truly eloquent orator.
