Mills Shut Down
Seven of the 10 cotton mills around Rockingham are not running this week. They shut down last Saturday afternoon for a week's rest for their employees and in order to give their plants a general overhauling and cleaning. It is well known that orders have been slack during the past few months and practically all the cotton mills of the State and country, and no doubt the companies are glad of the chance of a week's suspension if nothing more than to stop piling up goods.
The mills closed for the week are Steele's, Hannah Picket, Roberdel Nos. 1 and 2, Great Falls, Ledbetter's and Midway. The three mills that did not take a week off are the two Pee Dees and Entwistle.
