Child labor in North Carolina's textile mills
A game of marbles
When they had time, boys played game such as marbles. The boy shooting the marble had worked in a mill in Salisbury for five years. His grandmother told Hine that “I don’t like to have ‘em play marbles on Sunday, but when can they play?”
