Exhibit No.                        Description

  99.1                   Press release dated June 25, 1999

























June 24, 1999                           Bettis C. Rainsford
Greenville, South Carolina                   (803) 637-5304




      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.
