Group showing some of the youngest workers taken in the #ScotlandNeck Cotton Mill at starting time. Tiniest girl, one apparently 8 or 9, investigator saw at work at her knitting machine perched up on a box, as she was too short to reach. The next in size was seen raveling. Both were steady workers. Location: #ScotlandNeck, #NorthCarolina.

Some of the youngsters in the #ScotlandNeck Cotton Mill going home to dinner. This mill has a number of children. One boy told me 10 years old, and one 7. Location: #ScotlandNeck, #NorthCarolina.
