AGED NEGRO WAS
IMPORTANT FIGURE
Old Darkey With History Bobs Up
in Tallahassee After Long
Absence.

TALLAHASSEE, May 27.-Robert
w. Williams is just an aged negro
chiropodist or scorn doctor" but the
presence of the smiling old darkey
here the last few days after an alb
sence OF several years has recalled
to old settlers that Bob for more
than half a century was an important
figure in the life Of the state capital
Bob also has had an humble part
in making of the history of the state
for he was messenger to Judges Fill
ton, Rainey and Campbell. who
caused recount of Florida's vote in
1876 when Tilden and Hayes were
candidates for the presidency and
which in Florida resulted in the i'm
parchment of Governor Stone and the
Seating of Governor Drew. For many
year Bob read for Judge Hilton, who
during his last illness was blind, and
then wrote the jurist's obituary which
first appeared in the Pensacola News
and later in newspapers throughout
the state.
Bob and DR.. Dunn obtained the
present site up on which stands the
state Normal School for negroes and
he was in the pit and helped throw
out the mud from which the brick that
went into the building Of the court
house were made. Els enthusiasm
also is said to have been responsible
for the establishment OF the first
cigar factory here.
Years ago the old negro effected a
religious revolution here. Declaring he
was SO fond OF the white people that
he desired to see them In heaven, Bob
persuaded the Rev. 8. G. Kennedy TO
conduct for the white folks meet
ing in the Baptist church and borrow
ed the money from the Rev. II. G.
Bailey to pay the expense. Prior to
that time 1t is said no white man had
Joined q local church in ten years.

fist church has been built and the
congregation has grown to be one Of

pended from the library doorway. and

Good Potatoes of Uniform Size.

600 bushels Of tubers were moved off
from the farms on their way to the
table. This is 56799,000 bushels more
than left the farms in the correspond"
ing period a year ago, or half bushel
additional for every man, woman ana
child in the United States.
The potato crop of 1920 was the
largest in the history Of the country,
amounting to 430, 45S,OO0 bushels, and
of these only 145, 28G,0O0 bushels were
estimated as remaining in the hands of
growers and dealers January /. In
1919 the crop was 255, 773,0 600 bushels,
and the amount in the hands of grow
ers and dealers January l, 1920, was
estimated at 127 100000 bushels.
When the potato crop has been
large, under normal conditions, the
stocks of January / usually have been
large, and in years Of usual production,
before 1918, the stocks Of January
commonly were about one-half of the
crop in the total of the principal north
ern pOtatO-prOducing states In the
case Of the 1920 crop, on the contrary,
the stocks on the farm January l
amounted to only one-third of the crop,
and were smaller than the average Of
the three preceding years, when the
production was much less.
Statisticians of the department be-
