                       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                    FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


          Changes in Financial Condition

          The  Company's debt  (including short-term  borrowings) increased
          $29.1 million during the  first six months of 1994.   Inventories
          increased $45.0 million due to normal seasonal inventory build-up
          and  to meet anticipated higher customer orders for the last half
          of the year.   Decreases in accounts receivable of  $11.7 million
          and  cash  flows from  other  operating  activities provided  the
          remaining cash necessary to fund the inventory build-up.  Capital
          expenditures totaled $12.4  million for the  first six months  of
          1994 compared to $3.4  million for the first six months  of 1993.
          At  June 30, 1994,  approximately $34.0 million  of the Company's
          $150 million revolving credit  facility was available and unused.
          Capital expenditures  for 1994  are expected to  be approximately
          $50  million compared to $21.6 million in  1993.  Included in the
          1994 expenditures is the  start of a $90 million  capital project
          for a new weaving  plant at the Company's Columbus,  Ga./ Phoenix
          City,  Ala.  towel mill.   It  is  anticipated that  financing of
          future capital expenditures will  be provided by cash  flows from
          operations,  borrowings  under  the  Company's  revolving  credit
          facility, and,  possibly, the  sale of long-term  debt or  equity
          securities.

          On July 19, 1994, the Company sold $10 million of taxable revenue
          bonds under the  Alabama State Industrial  Development Authority.
          The proceeds were used  to pay a portion of  the cost of the  new
          weaving plant located in Phoenix City, Alabama.  The bonds mature
          on July 1, 2021 and bear an initial interest rate  of 4.75% which
          fluctuates on a weekly basis.  The Company has purchased a letter
          of  credit  to   secure  these  bonds  which  reduced   the  loan
          availability under the $150  million revolving credit facility by
          the $10 million.

          A letter of intent was signed on June 24, 1994 to sell the Bangor
          and Aroostock  Railroad Company.   Proceeds from  the anticipated
          sale will be used to reduce borrowings under the revolving credit
          facility.  At this  time no definitive agreement has  been signed
<PAGE>



          and no assurance can be given that such agreement will occur.


          Changes in Results of Operations

          Quarter Ended June 30, 1994 vs. Quarter Ended June 30, 1993

          Net sales  from continuing operations  in the  second quarter  of
          1994 were $254.8 million compared to $256.5 million in the second
          quarter  of 1993, a decrease  of .7%.   The $1.7 million decrease
          follows a 14%  increase in sales reported in the first quarter of
          1994.  The  decrease is due primarily to lower  unit shipments to
          the mass merchant and promotional sales distribution channels.




                                         (6)



          Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses decreased  as  a
          percentage of sales  from 9.9% to 9.3% in the  second quarter  of
          1994 compared  to the same quarter of 1993.  The decrease was due
          primarily to reduced costs resulting from the voluntary early 
          retirement program  implemented in late  1993 and lower  bad debt
          expense.

          Operating  income as a percentage  of sales increased  to 6.6% in
          the  second quarter of  1994 from 5.5%  in the  second quarter of
          1993.  The improvement resulted primarily from the lower selling,
          general  and administrative  expenses  and  higher mill  activity
          levels.

          Interest expense was $1.9  million less in the second  quarter of
          1994 due  to the reduction of debt with the proceeds from sale of
          the  carpet and  rug division  in July  1993 and  lower borrowing
          rates.

          Income from  continuing operations was $6.7 million,  or $.64 per
          common share  after preferred dividends, in the second quarter of
          1994 compared  to $4.1 million, or $.34  per common share, in the
          second quarter of 1993.


          Six Months Ended June 13, 1994 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 1993

          Net  sales from continuing operations for the first six months of
          1994  were  $487.1 million  compared  to $460.5  million  for the
          corresponding period last  year, an  increase of 6%.   The  $26.6
          million  increase was  due primarily  to increased  volume.   The
          Company, along  with others  in the industry,  recently announced
          price increases for  its products for  the last half of  the year
          after several years without  any general selling price increases.
          The  price  increases  reflect  recent increases  in  cotton  and
          polyester market prices and other cost increases. 

          Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  decreased  as  a
          percentage of sales from 10.9% to 9.4% in the first six months of
          1994 compared to the same  period of 1993.  The decrease  was due
          primarily  to reduced  costs resulting  from the  voluntary early
<PAGE>



          retirement  program  implemented in  late  1993,  lower bad  debt
          expense and a decrease in other selling expenses.

          Operating  income as a percentage  of sales increased  to 6.5% in
          the first six months of 1994 from 5.6% in the first six months of
          1993.  The improvement resulted primarily from the lower selling,
          general  and  administrative expenses  and  higher mill  activity
          levels.

          Interest expense was $3.7 million less in the first six months of
          1994 due to the reduction of  debt with the proceeds from sale of
          the  carpet and  rug division  in July  1993 and  lower borrowing
          rates.

          Income from continuing  operations before accounting changes  was
          $12.2  million,  or  $1.15   per  common  share  after  preferred
          dividends,  in  the first  six months  of  1994 compared  to $6.8
          million, or  $.56 per common  share, in  the first six  months of
          1994.




                                         (7)



          The   Company  adopted   FAS  106,  "Employers'   Accounting  for
          Postretirement  Benefits  other  than  Pensions"   and  FAS  109,
          "Accounting  for Income Taxes",  effective January 1,  1993.  The
          cumulative effect of the accounting changes reduced the first six
          months of 1993 net  income by $70.3 million, or  $5.83 per common
          share, but had no cash impact.

          Net income for the first six months of 1994 was $12.2 million, or
          $1.15 per common  share after preferred dividends, compared  to a
          loss of $59.5 million,  or $4.93 per  common share, in the  first
          six months of 1993.
