We had a fire at a gin across the road. A bunch of what we call gin trash built up and it is thought that a cigarette lit it up. Luckily, nothing super important was burnt.

Worked in textiles for 22 years seeing the bales come in one door and finished product out the last door to major retailers. Always wondered how it was ginned. Too bad so many textile jobs were lost to NAFTA and so many prosperous communities are now poverty ridden because of it.

THAT IS A HIGH DENSITY PRESS THAT PUT FEDERAL COMPRESS COMPANY OUT OF BUSINESS OUR OLD GIN HAD A LOW DENSITY PRESS THOSE BALES HAD TO BE HAULED TO THE COMPRESS SO THEY COULD BE COMPRESSED TO A SIZE FOR SUITABLE SHIPPING TO THE TEXTILE MILLS MOST U.S. TEXTILE MILLS WERE IN OPERATION IN THE CAROLINAS AND GEORGIA IN THE 60'S, 70s then they exited to ASIA, CHINA AND PAKISTAN, BANGLADESH
