J POLLARD WINS IN VIRGINIA | Joan G*i Sand Pe!!ard; former pro-1 "?aior of law at the College of Wil- ^ Ham and Mary, was elected Governor ^ of Virginia Tuesday in what turned ^ out to be a landslide for the Demo- ^ cratic Party. The Democratic nominee led his opponent, Dr. William Moseley Brown, nominee of the antiSmith Democrats and Republicans, in every Congressional District and with bver two-thirds of the total .vote tab- ^ wlated, had amassed a lead of 52,113. ^ tf Pollard's election was conceded by | V) Brown headquarters at 10:40 o'clock.* rV At t^at hour returns from 1,175 of ^ the State's 1,683 precincts gave Pol- , lard 111,079; Brown, 58,966. ^ The overwhelming victory of the a] Democratic Party was a surprise to ^ veteran politicians on both sides, al- ^ though Pollard headquarters had made predictions of a "substantial majority" for the Democratic Guber- jj notorial aspirant. The campaign pre- j(| ceding the election was the most spirited since reconstruction days. ^ Anti-Smith Democrats, organized last year by Bishop James Cannon Jr., w of the Methodist Episcopal Church, ni South, and other dry leaders, in oppo- ij sition to the Presidential candidacy w of Alfred E. Smith, allied themselves ^ with the Virginia Republican Party aj in an effort to wrest State control from the Democratic Party, which ^ had held sway since reconstruction. ^ The campaign eclipsed all previous a, State contest* for political oratory *s and debates between leaders. Doctor Pollard was a staunch supporter of the Democratic national ticket in the ^ last Presidential campaign, making a jj number of speeches in support of Al- ^ fred E. Smith. He is a "bone dry." p WALKER DEFEATS LA CUARD1A M ayor James J.

Walker's vote was tl 565,549; La Guardia, 368,384; Nor- o man Thomas, Socialist, 174,931; R. g E. Enright, Square Deal, 5,956. 5< The Democratic landslide was in- p dicated in the first return*. TJi*?? ?? after every district vote count added ic to the mounting total. Major La Guardia, who had conducted a fiery t< campaign, conceded the Mayor's re- a: election soon ^fter 8:30. o'clock and o sent a congratulatory telegram to a him. d v; KENTUCKY DEMOCRATIC b Early unofficial returns in Kentucky's legislative election indicated J! Wednesday morning that the Republicans were unsuccessful in their efforts to obtain control of the Legislature in that State. Nominally Democratic districts, on the face of incomplete returns, gave majorities to n the Democratic candidates. A few f returns also pointed to the jj defeat of Republican candidates who ^ supported the policies of Governor f, Flem D. Sampson, Republican. Two 0 districts that elected Republicans to ti the 1928 session turned to Democratic candidates this year. 0 A full membership of 100 in the b house and 20 of the 38 Senators are to be elected. t< Practically complete unofficial re- v turns show that William B.

Lo cated Near Jefferson at New Rive Source; is Twenty-five Squar Miies of Beautiful Country. A recent West Jefferson report t te Winston-Salem Journal tells o te establishment near that town o State game refuge. Excerpts fror te article follow: Nigger Mountain, towering up 1, 1)0 feet above sea level, is the new ;t game refuge in the Blue Ridg [ountains and, takn from the angl f its possibilities, is perhaps th lost important yet established by th epartment of Conservation and De ilopment in this part of the Statf he refuge became a reality a fe% lys ago when the last of the lam ases were signed up by Game War sn W.

Nigger Mountain, a historic erai ence extending almost in a direc ne north ana south, is described a eing perfectly adopted to the need i nearly all kinds of wild life. Dis ict Game Warden Stepp, of Lenoii >-operating with the local gam arden and sportsmen, has alrcad; mde arrangements for the importa on of deer, pheasants, quail am lid turkeys.

Thor re ten thousand acres available fo le Nigger Mountain refuge and ii s now urged by some, the refug extended through the narrow eck circumscribed by highways t le banks of New River, several mor lousands of acres will be included owever, it is expected that th idely endorsed policy of the Dc artment of Conservation, namelj > create small refuges in each coun / from which game and variou secies of wild life may radiate t unting districts in each, will be ad ered to in this as in other localities Skirting its outer edges, the Nigge lountain game preserve is more tha if teen miles in oireu inference. Th lounfcaijv proper rises between th ,vin towns of Jefferson and Wet efferson. The leases signed forbid unting upon the territory withi re limits of the refuge for a perio f ten years. On either side of Nig er Mountain the towns of Jcffei in and West Jefferson obtain thei ure water supply from never-fai ig springs of limpid water of almos :y temperature.

Migration from Farms Seen in a New Ligh By ARLINGTON SMITH Those who "view with alarm" hav lade much of the great movemer rom farms to cities, and have take B: for granted that this movemer 'as something woeful "indeed. Pro essor Walter Burr, of the Universit f Missouri, sees the other side o he matter. Professor Burr strikes the keynot f his idea thusiy: "Much stress ha een placed upon the fact of th iss of population from the sma own and cou.,t - area coincides ith the very rapid gain in popul: ion in the city area. It is assume hat the one is a sign of decadenc nd disaster and the other a sign o rogresa and success. This assum] ion may be due to the fact that i ensus reports we arc likely to hea ne column 'Gain' and the other co mn 'Loss.' An increase in popul: ion is assumed to be a 'gain in ei ry sense of the word, and a d< rease in population is assumed t e a 'loss.' And further, says Professor Bun Slowly but surely a new type c erson is appearing in rural arec a many of our states. If it was tru hat for a period of time ambitiol eraons migrated from the farm an rom small towns, this does not te he whole story. It is bIso true thi lany who were forced out of farn ag sections merely from lack of en iloyment, drifted naturally to th Teat industrial centers where wot itis more plentiful. . . it is doub ul if among those who left the ri jti tuwuiuiiiiy mere was any largt >ercentage of the ambitiuos and ci iahle than of those who were belo' he border line of native intelligent ind adaptability, and therefore ii apable of remaining as parts of tl iew order."
