vented Thomas Travis McClain, color
ed. a resident of Sumter. s. c., from

Baur was passing through . street
when his attention was attracted to
McClain purchasing a pistol. The
detective said he was able to see at
a glance that the prospective pur-
chaser of a pistol was under the in
fuence of liquor.
Instead of permitting McClain to
make the purchase and walk from the
store with a loaded pistol in-} his
pocket, Baur placed him under arrest
and charged him with intoxication.
He had part of a quart of whisky and
nearly 5000 in his pockets. the detec-
tive said. He probably will be re-

BOURBON COUNTY GIRL SEES
GENERAL PERSHING

Miss Alice w. Adair, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. P. Adair, of Paris,
had the honor Of seeing and shak-
ing hands with General John ].
Pershing, Saturday, January 10, at
the Convention Hall, in Kansas
City, Mo-, where the Worlds War
hero was presented with gold
sword from the people Of his own
State, Missouri.
Miss Adair has been guest of
DR.. and Mrs. H. B. Adair, in Kansas
City, and while there she writes to
THE BOURBON NEWS interesting
news concerning the great event.
1T was all wonderful, and / felt
proud to be a member of this great
historic meeting, and to see the
heavily-jeweled trophy presented to
General Pershing as a token Of Mis-
souri's appreciation of her GENERALS
devoted heroism.
boy Scouts lined the center aisle
Of the stage. The band played a
martial air, and the General and his
escort slowly made their way to the
front of the stage.
There were $4,000 or more wildly
enthusiastic people in the Conven.
ton Hall, and wild excitement
rang throughout the walls. AS the
band played, everyone cheered, and
waved an American flag, in greeting
to the great General.
1.-THE sword was presented to
General Pershing by DR.. Burris Jen-
kins. representing the people of
Missouri. AS he drew forth the
gold scabbard and sword, General
Pershing gazed on in admiration.
The band played The Star Spangled
Banner and every man, woman and
child stood erect. 1t was great
moment in a great day in the life of
General John ]. Pershing, but to a
little Bourbon county girl, seeing
ell this wonderful event, seemed
more than great to her. When the
strains Of the National anthem had
ceased, General Pershing was in full
possession of the priceless trophy,
which he and all the world had
heard so much about. Oh! I could
never described the splendor of it all.
General Pershing then stepped
to the front of the stage, the vast
audience still cheering him and
waving flags. We all could see the
real Pershing, and hear him express
his thanks and appreciation to the
people of Missouri.
"At the conclusion of General
Pershings remarks, DR.. Jenkins an
nounced that the General desired to
meet the people and shake hands
with them. This was an unexpect-
ed announcement that fairly thrill
ed the thousands who had attended
the meeting. Hearing that grand
announcement. I thought of the glo-
rious opportunity that was before

me, one that thousands back home
1 know would loved to have had.
"A large circle of the many spec
tators moved slowly around Conven-
ton Hall and as we neared the
General, each fell into single file
and shook hands with the great
hero.
HE greeted everyone with a
smile and a hearty handshake, and
when my time came I thought,
Obi how wonderful and how for
