Einige Jahre seit der Gründung einer Aktenfabrik haben sich alle Arbeiter und Boysin, die aus Sheffield, England, und so weit gebracht wurden, als sehr erfolgreich erwiesen. Ein neues Gebäude, auf einer großen Kalk, ist seitdem für die gleiche Herstellung errichtet worden. Auch hier wurde von Richter Pierson eine große Baumwollmühle aus Ziegelstein gegründet. Sie war erfolglos und ist jetzt nicht außer Betrieb. Es ist traurig, das Wrack von so vielen der eliberalen Unternehmungen dieses Gentleman zu sehen, der in einer bescheidenen Voca das leben begann
