"Dinner-Toters" waiting for the gate to open. This is carried on more in Columbus than in any other city I know, and by smaller children. (See photos.) Many of them are paid by the week for doing it, and carry, sometimes, ren [i.e., ten] or more a day. They go around in th[e] mill, often help tend to machines, which often run at noon, and so learn the work.

Location: Columbus, Georgia.
