today granted a parole during
good behavior to R. M. McFadden,
former motorcycle policeman of Rock
Hall and veteran of the war in the
Thirtieth division, now serving a sentence
of three to six years for manslaughter.
He was committed to the

conviction of killing Dewey Simpson
of Chester in February, 1925.
The former patrolman was convicted
of shooting after an automobile
in which Simpson was riding,
when he pursued it through the city
of Rock Hill, under the belief that
the occupants were either transporting
liquor or were intoxicated.
Simpson was killed by the shot.

LARGEST PAIR SHOES
Bixteea (Rchft Long and Weigh
Almoet Ten Pound*
Jackson, Mi**., June IL?A gigantic
pair of shoca, believed to be the largest
ever made for a human, have
been presented to the Mississippi department
of archive# and history und
are on exhibit in the state museum.
The .shoes are l<? inches long and
slightly more than *ix inches wide,
weighing close to ten pounds.
They were made during the World
war for Thomas Williams, a North
Carolina negro, who had never worn
a pair of shoes in his life, according
to Captain Arthur Fridge of
Jackson, commander of the corps in
which Williams served, and who made
the presentation. The pair of enormous
shoes, of the army hob-nail
type, were made for the negro, but
they hurt his feet and were so heavy
that he was unable to wear them, it is
jaid. Ho served in the army in nonregulation
* uniform, consequently,
with his feet wrapped in sacks in
:old weather.
Williams, according to the information
given to Dr. Dunbar Rowland,
director of the department, is six
feet four inches in height and
weighs 210 pounds. Army officials
:ould find no reason for turning .him
Jown in the service, as he was a
perfect specimen of physical manlood.
He told army officials, it was
said, that he always wrapped his
feet in sacks during cojd weather and
isked to be allowed ,.4'o serve in the
jrmy under those conditions.
The negro served in France in Captain
Fridge's corps, the 323rd service
sattallion, Q. M. C., at Cassey les
Forges, Cote d'or, France. His record
in the army is said to have been unusually
good.
Capt. Fridge related the history
of the shoes to Dr. Rowland several
months ago, and the director expressed
a wish that they might be
obtained. The unused pair was obtained
by Captain Fridge and forwarded
to the department.
"Boss, dese shoes is jest naturally
too heavy and dey hurts my feet,"
Williams told the officers, according
to the story. "If you jest lets me
wrap my feet in my sacks, I'll get
along fine."
Porters in the state house were
amazed when Dr. Rowland called a
conference and offered ther shoes to
any one who could wear them. There
<was no one who , Cgfred enough to
try them on.
"What size are they?" one porter
asked the director.
'"They are measured by the square
feet and not sizes," Dr. Rowland
laughingly re?plied. "They are so
much bigger than any shoes ever put
ion the market that it is impossible to
approximate the size."
The shoes have aroused considerable
interest in the capitol.
freeze Fish; Then Ship Them
Chicago, June 7.?The possibility of
transporting Alaskan blackfish to
Chicago by freezing them to solid
blocks of ice, and bringing them back
to life by a thawing process is being
investigated by Walter H. Chute, associate
director of the $2,000,000
Shedd Aquarium to be erected here.
Early investigation has determined
that the fish, principal food of natives
of northern Alaska, have unusual vitality
and are as lively as ever when
thawed out, after weeks in their icy
prisons. Cases have been reported,
Mr. Chute said, where fish have been
revived after being swallowed whole
by Eskimo dogs. In these instances
the fish were thawed out by the animal
heat of the stomach, their movement
causing the dogs to eject them
live.
. . i
It Still Showed
The young lady had asked the
guide every possible and impossible
question. Suddenly,. she saw one of
those paths of smooth unbroken
water which are occasionally seen on
small lakes when a light breeze is
blowing, "Guide, guide," she- said
pointing excitedly to it. "What is
that? Look, that fanny streak in
the water." "Ah," said the guide,
"that's where the road went across
the ice last winter."
