Cotton Lung
Byssinosis, or, "Brown Lung Disease"... I wonder how many of these kids (and the other lint-covered millworker urchins pictured on Shorpy) died from it.

Textile Mill Baseball
As textile mills moved to the South (primarily North and South Carolina) after the Civil War, nearly every mill had a baseball team. Shoeless Joe Jackson played for a mill team in Greenville, SC. Anyone Googling "textile mill baseball" will be taken aback at the number of "hits" that will be found.
