Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.1
SCOTLAND NECK. n. G.. August lG.-Hour
correspondent yesterday visited the Gale
donia State Farm. near Tlllery. The crops
are very fine and promise a most abun-
dant yield. The farm was leased 6y the
State for ten years, and although TINS is
the second year Of cultivation under the
States management. there IS most won
deriul change. Miles Of growing crops
all in ones view present a grand
srght. while two years ago the view
was broken by grown-up pines or heius
and underground IN the lower flGces.
The groat farm has been dyked oil along
the river banks and still large force IA at
work dyking across low places that let IN
back water from below. The main dykes
will pe raised so there wall be no possible
chance of overflow. There are ABOUT
three hundred conyicts on this farm. and
the management under Major j. H. Mclyer
seems perfect.

were happy. but the lines fell off in the alter
noon in all the districts except the Third.
When the registry books were closed in this
district At 81 O'Clock in the evening. eighty
eight more names had been recorded than
