- In the Great Spinning Room - 104,000 Spindles - Olympian Cotton Mills, Columbia, South Carolina, 1903 - Mill owners used the most up-to-date machines in their factories to increase production and cut labor costs, hiring children to tend some of them. A typical child's job was that of spinner, tending 6 or 7 rows of rotating bobbins and watching for breaks in the cotton--then quickly mending them. By 1900, laws in the North limited child labor to an extent, but the practice was widespread in the South, where much of the textile industry had moved.

- Notice of an Aviation Meet Featuring the Wright Brothers' Passenger-Carrying Aeroplanes, Columbia, South Carolina, 1913 - The Wright brothers, always cautious when flying their airplanes, were hesitant to participate in stunt-heavy aviation meets. But the public loved seeing daredevil "birdmen" in action, and the Wrights reluctantly formed an exhibition team in 1910. It was a dangerous business, but it spurred interest in aviation and helped sell airplanes.
