(By Ralph F.merniin.l i New York, Jan. 6. No presidential year in a long time has opened with such universal expressions of optimism in regard to the future of general business as was tho case with 1912. Those expressions came from many prominent men closely identical with financial, mercantile. Industrial and transportation Interests.

In some instances they rose to a point of enthusiasm. Unusual indifference is manifested as to the Various political moves to secure future control of the government. In each of the two great political parties at. the present time, preliminary to the final verdict of the people next November, there are most remarkable contests going on as to candidates and platforms, these contests assuming- a "bitterness that increases with time. The equanimity with which business men view all this shows plainly they are satisfied that the country's present fundamental con-ditions form a R-ood basis for the return of the better times of the past, and also it Is not in tire power of politicians to destroy these conditions.

Money Raten Low. This is how the situation stands today, but the first wreek in any year, especially in one that is to decide a presidential contest, cannot bs accepted explicitly as a barometer of final results. Nevertheless, it Is, a good omen that so much cheerfulness exists, and there is more disposition to go abend business intend of chasing rhadows, as in the past.

UY s. J. JOHNSON COMPANY. started Saturday Morning With a Rush and Will Continue During; the Next Tea Days Some Marvelous Itaius Offered. liar- The great January clearance sale, an annual event at the department store of the K.

J. Johnson Company, was started Saturday morning, and ill continue for a period of about ten t'ays. 1 icspite the Inclement weather that prevailed (luring a good portion of the day, the firm enjoyed a large volume of tryde, and the shoppers of Jackson showed their keen appreciation of the many splendid bargains offered. The annual clearance sale on this occasion, as In the past, means absolutely extraordinary values in every department of the big; store. This year Mr, Johnson and his efficient corps of assistants hove endeavored to make it by far the greatest bargain-producer ever known in the city of Jackson.

it should he borne in mind, furthermore, that all merchandise in the K. J. Johnson store Is high class, no matter how low the juices quoted. Tha establishment does not carry any cheap or trashy stock in any department, it is the home of dependable merchandise and true values, and those who desire to get tileir pick of the stock should not fail to visit the store during the coming week, for the goods are going fast. Kxcjuisite tailor-made suits are go ing at unoelKvabiy low prices, anil no vi man can afford to overlook the wonderful opportunity presented.

This also applies to the goods nl the ready-to-wear department. It will be worth while to lead every line of the published advertisements. Terms of the sale are strictly cash. The firm cannot afford to carry book accounts at the prices iuoted. No noi ds will be sent out on approval, nor will any phone orders be taken.

The clerical capacity of the establishment will be taxed to the utmost to handle the over-the-counter trade. The bargains are not all for the. ladles. In the clothing department an opportune sale of men's suits Is in progress, and clothes of faultless workmanship, high class material and perfect lit are being offered at figures lower than ever before quoted by the S.

There are five such states New-Jersey, California, Nebraska, North Dakota and Oreijon. Their como'ned delegates to the republican national convention reach ninety. The fact that La Follette's name Is likely to figure in some of these contests gives hope to the Taft men that the progressive strength will be divided und they will be able to control these state delegations.

Perry S. Heath, who was one of Mark llaniia'n chief lieutenants. In rounding up delegates for McKinlcy has been engaged for a similar service by the Taft machine. He will tour the Pacific roast, the Itocky Mountain region, the Northwest and other states in an effort to line up uninstruded delegates for Taft, and also do missionary work in other d'rectiuns. After the ascendency of Konsevelt In political power Heath went to Salt Lake City, where he conducted a pa per; but he lived recently in Washington.

I liileruoiiil Sentiment Growing. "If Iloosevelt should be nominated next June," said a New York democrat today, "you can look for the nomination of Oscar W. Underwood by the democrats. I believe one nomination will compel the other.

And in that event you will see an almost exact repetition of the McKinley-Hryan campaign of ISSui, with the, position of the two parties exactly reversed." The amount of talking in Washington about 1'nderwood for president is astonishing, in view of the fact that only a few months ago his fellow democrats In the house were saying that he was a fine fellow and a high grade man, but he would not do because he came from the South. Now they have apparently forgotten what state Underwood comes from and when it is called to their attention they say that it does not make a bit of difference. In several ways the parallel drawn between Underwood ond McKinley is tipt. In temperament there is a marked resemblance between the two men. The same is true of their poPtical methods.

Their training- in the house affords another comparison. McKinley grew up in the ways and means committee and became its chairman, just an has Underwood. McKinley drafted a tariff bill ami Mr. Underwood is now engaged In drafting a series of such bills for the democrats. Those conservatives who think that the nomination of Harmon is Impossible are turning to Underwood with even more enthusiasm.

They believe that, opposed by Iloosevelt, he would repeat the triumph which McKinley gained over Bryan. lllltbi; WOHK IV FHSIA. New York, Jan. 6. The American P.ible Society has been at work in northern Persia for seventy years.

The political disturbances there have, of course, interfered with the progress of the work, and, still further, the Importation of Persian and Turkish scripture hus at times been prohibited. Yet the circulation of the scriptures has been continued, and the last annual report shows 773 copies (Mstributed at Itesht and Teheran. This report contained an interesting letter from the i'ev.

The Question of whether Hicheson can be sentenced to death upon his plea of guilty to murder- in the first degree was settled by the full bench of the supreme court fifty yeurs ago in the case of the Commonwealth vs. Kdward W.

Green, who killed a young man named Converse, son of K. C. Converse, who was a teller In the bank at Maiden. Green confessed to the killing; and when arraigned before Judge Hoar in the supreme court, which then had Jurisdiction of murder cases, pleaded guilty to murder in the first degree and Judge Hoar sentenced him to be hanged. Gov.

Andrew refused to sign the death warrant on the ground that the man could not waive his constitutional right to be tried by jury. This led to a remarkable controversy with the supremo court, which sustained the action of Judge Hoar. Gov. Andrew still refused to sign the death warrant, which was doneby his successor, Gov, Bullock, and Green was bunged. Lute in the afternoon I)itriet Attorney Pelletier made this statement In regard to the present status of the case: "A confession is not a plea of guilty.

If liicheson should plead guilty before the date set for trial there will be no trial, as it will be legal for the judge to sentence hlrn upon his plea of guilty in this state." Lawyers Hold Conference. Last evening both Lawyers Morse and Lee were in the company of the district attorney and spent some time in discussing- the case. It is said there was a general conference later last night in which the several lawyers, ucting In an advisory way, were called Into the case. Shortly after noon today both Lee and Morse went to the office of Morse in the Kiiuitable building, where the newspaper men had assembled to meet them. Mr.

Lee referred to the many Interviews he had submitted in a jocu(ar way and wound up by saying-they had an Important statement to make public. Then he produced itich-eson's confession. District Attorney Pelletier ami his first assistant, Thomas 1). Lavelle, resumed their active work on the Hicheson case today by interviewing four women witnesses. They were Dr.

Mary Hobart, who attended Avis Linnell after the young singer had taken the cyanide which caused her death, and three young women from the V. W. C. These women remained in conference about an hour with the two of ficers ho v. ill try the case for commonwealth and then hurriedly the building.

The young women fused to disclose their Identity. the left re- Says onfedslon Voluntary. Attorney John Lee, of counsel for liicheson. following the issuance of the confession today, said; "This confession was voluntary. It was not the result of inducements or i anv expectation of clt-menev.

A. Mors. lhe confers iron was inevitable, I have ban more than liiO murder cases, but this caso was different from any of them. It was a singular state of affairs. I think this the best solution.

"As to further procedure you will have to see the district attorney. I cannot state whether the conference at the district attorney's office last night had anything to do with the confession." When Mrs. Lizzie Linnell, mother of the slain girl, was informed of the confession of liicheson, she said: "If this Is trtie, it has lifted a great load oft my mind. We dreaded the ordeal of a trial. I was sure, from the first, that the slayer of my daughter would be brought to justice." IIFAKNIKS SHOW DPXKFASK.

Corporations Slow in I'njlng Vp to State. Atlanta, Jan. 6. Figures compiled in the state treasury office, which will be made public Wednesday, show that the state of Georgia's revenues in 1H11 from public service corporation taxes and other sources was several hundred thousand dollars less than in 1910. This is not.

because there has been any falling off in value of Geor-gla corporation property, rather it has increased hut the corporations have simply been slower than usual in paying up As a corrollary of yds fact, the report will show that the treasury has paid out in 1911 about 2a per cent less on teachers' salaries than it paid in 1910, that is 25 per cent less In proportion to the amounts due the teachers for those respective years. In the year just closed the teachers received in all only about 41 per cent of what was coming to them. In 1910 they received about fit! per cent. The treasury hopes to be able to pay them, however, within this month or very soon thereafter, all that is still owing on the 1911 salaries.

(By V. (Ilatl Maaterson.) New York, Jan. 6. Jack Johnson Is till in Chicago dickering for a match out of which he hopes to' get another fortune as he did out of the Reno fight with Jeffries. Johnson has evidently got a clever press agent on his staff, for he has managed lately to keep himself prominently before the public almost continually.

Considering the heavyweights from whom an opponent for Johnson would have to be selected it is doubtful If there Is a promoter in the country who would he willing to give the champion a guarantee basis, but that they could be induced to give lilm the amount he demands or even half of It Is more than doubtful. So far as a battle in this country Is concerned, the best man that could be sent against Johnson at the present time would be regarded by the sporting public as a joke. Jim Flynn, good stubborn fighter that he Is, would not be enough of an attraction to draw-one hundred sports outside of the town In which the battle took place. Unless Johnson has added asin'nlty to his other shortcomings, Ue must know that this is true. Hut, of course, If he got a guarantee he would not care how-big a crowd the battle drew.

But In a year from now the thinir might be different. By that time, If Johnson is "fill in the game, he might be in a position to grab another fortune as he did at Ileno. Hut It would not he by whipping a dead one, as was the case when he fought Jeffrie. Within the next twelve months, if all signs don't fall, there'll be a white man ready to dispute the championship with Johnson, and if nothing happens, the man to undertake the task will be proclaimed by the sporting public as fully qualified for the Job, and he will be Al Falser. Tex P.lrkard, who promoted and tinunced the Johnson-Jeffries battle.

wutched the fight between PaUer and Kaufman at the National Sporting Club last week, and after It was over he wag heard to remark to some friends: "Don't be surprised if you see 'me out In Nevada next Labor Day handling a light between Johnson and Falser. If this country is ever going to develop a white matt capubie of restoring the championship to the whita race this fellow Falser looks to me to be the man," said Ilickard. "If nothing happens to Talwr to give film a setback between: now and next Labor Day, I wouldn't hesitate a moment about hanging up another $1 00, 0i0 purse for him and the negro, and I wouldn't be surprised either to see Falser walk off with the title.

Women fencing enthusiasts who went to the Colony Club, Madison avenue and Thirtieth street, today, to witness the fencing match between the Ilaroness De Meyer, one of the world's foremost women fencers, and Miss i-'ybil Marston, of California, were disappointed, as the contest did not come off, owing to the fact that Miss Marston is a teacher of physical culture, and therefore rated as a professional under the rules of the Amateur Athletic Union.

College football team won the. first game ever played by a Southern eleven on foreign soil from the University of Havana by the decisive score of 12 to 0. Hunter Kimball, one of the members of the A.

According to Mr. Kimball, the Mississippi team simply played rings around the Cubans, and while the game had many startling features, It was apparent from the start that the descendants of the proud Castllians have a great deal yet to learn about the modern game of football. Harris Magruder, another iackaon boy on the A. M. team, met with an accident during the game, and is now In a hospital at Havana with one of his legs In a plaster cast.

Orkin Is said to have signed tne note for Chrlstman believing thut the deed he held gave him a first mortgage lien on Cue property.

Orkin made the charge against Chrlstman after consulting with Prosecuting Attorney Louis Hal-lam, who prepared the affidavits.
