I went looking for information on Dickson Mill in Laurinburg, N.C., after yesterday’s photo of ladies who worked there in 1908, and I found this photo with more information. Here is a photo of some of the men who worked at the mill, which is identified as Dickson Mills. The information says this photo was taken by Lewis W. Hine on December 6, 1908. This photo is also from the Library of Congress, online at https://www.loc.gov/resource/nclc.01510/, and the information below this entry states that the ladies in yesterday’s photo were also taken by Mr. Hines.
The photo of the two young men are Eddie Williamson, the taller boy to the right, who had been working in the mill for three years, and John Elliot, who had been in the mill for 7 years.
