Due to the fact that curtailed schedule of the Southern Power Company has halted their work during the past several months, local cotton mills will not close for Thanksgiving Day, it is reported here.
However, the mills will have to stand from Thursday night until Saturday noon, so the employes will get a holiday then. The curtailed power schedule, brought about by the drought of the summer, has made it impossible for the mills to give their employes full time work for some time and for that reason it has been decided not to close for Thanksgiving.
With the Christmas season approaching the employes of the mills are said to be anxious to get in every possible working day, and the mills also are anxious to get filled as many orders as possible.
