Exhibit No. Description
99.1 Press release dated June 25, 1999
June 24, 1999 Bettis C. Rainsford

Delta Woodside Industries, Inc. (NYSE-DLW) announced today
that it has terminated the process of attempting to sell its
Delta Mills Marketing Company division in line with its
previously-announced plan because it has not received any
satisfactory offer for the business.
The Delta Woodside Board will continue to explore other
strategies to enhance shareholder value, including: (1) the
purchase of the Company's Delta Apparel and Duck Head divisions
by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Delta Mills, Inc., or
(2) a spin-off/recapitalization in which the apparel divisions
would be spun-off to the Company's shareholders as separate
public companies, and substantial cash would be paid out to
shareholders from new borrowings by the remaining Company.
Under the purchase of the Company's Delta Apparel and Duck
Head divisions by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Delta
Mills, Inc., the Company would be provided with substantial cash
to make acquisitions of Company shares or other businesses, or
for other purposes.
Under the spin-off/recapitalization, shareholders of Delta
Woodside would receive, for their shares of Delta Woodside,
shares of each of the new spun-off apparel companies, cash
estimated to be in the range of $4.00 per share, and stock in the
remaining Delta Woodside. Also, additional shares of the
remaining Delta Woodside (representing more than 20% of the then
outstanding shares of the remaining Delta Woodside) would be sold
to members of management of the Delta Mills Marketing Company
division. Consummation of the spin-off/recapitalization
transaction would be conditioned upon receiving a favorable vote
of the Delta Woodside shareholders. The Company expects that,
for federal income tax purposes, the spin-off/recapitalization
transaction would be treated as a redemption of stock and the
receipt of the shares of the apparel companies and the cash would
be taxable to the Delta Woodside shareholders as capital gain.
Delta Woodside Industries, Inc. headquartered in Greenville,
South Carolina, manufactures and sells a wide variety of textile
and apparel products. The Company, which employs about 5,600
people, operates 16 plants and 26 garment outlet stores. These
facilities are located in 12 states, Costa Rica and Honduras.
