...some predominantly Negro areas in the south. Much of the territory between stayed loyal to Smith, but gave him smaller margins than he had expected. Suburban Fairfax went for Rawlings 2 to 1. With heavy Negro votes, Charles City County gave Rawlings a 7 to 2 margin, and New Kent County, 2 to 1. The result was a 645-vote victory for Rawlings out of nearly 54,000 cast...
Before sunset the first day, 2,500 tourists had swarmed past the brick garden wall that he had laid himself, the intricate rockeries and the stream that he had contrived, by means of pumps, to recirculate uphill.
