ReUiew Of Gou. KiLby's First Year h Office
 SholUs Promises Kept
Laws of Farreaching Effect Are Statute Books-Ony Split Between Governor and Legislature Came
 Revenue Bill
By FRED H. GoRMLEY

Montgomery, January IT, (Special.)- Nheh the sun went down Saturday aft efnoon Thomas F. Kiby of Anniston completed one year as governor of Ala pama, year filled with events during Which revolutions were fought in some instances, old forms and practices gave Way to the new, far-reaching laws were enacted and in some instances political friends became political enemies because of honest differences of opinion
 Governor Kilbv was inaugurated at noon, January IS. His three hundred and sixty fifth day will be completed at noon Sunday, but his last working day of the first year has passed. Checking hack over the terse platform which Mir kiby used in his campaign, many sur prises are found The unusual has been done. A vast majority of the pledges have been carried out. It is true that Governor Kilby. went into office under favorable circumstances which have not greeted another governor-elect in so long the memory of man runneth not to the contrary.
 A legislature elected on practically the same platform as the governor came into office at the same time and they were in harmony from the beginning until the end of the year. excepting on one subject-the revenue law.
 It is possible that any man, facing conditions similar to Governor Kilby, could have done as wei in meeting cam paign pledges: nevertheless, people for get the incidental things which lead up to the result. The last impression re- mains when all others have disappeared Without a legislature in harmony, the governor could have done nothing. but Governor Kilby made the promises in his campaign and at the end of the first year it is interesting to review the chap ter of promises and then to compare it with the chapter of accomplishments. It is surprising to know what was done in Alabama during the year.
 The first promise was that Alabama would be operated on the budget sys- tenn during the next four years. One of the first important bills to become law created a state budget commission com posed of the governor, attorney general and state auditor. This commissfon framed financial legislation whereby Alabama would live within it's income during the next four years and set aside certain funds with which to reduce ma terally if not eliminate the floating debt estimated at about $1000,00O.
 This bill was the cause of many fights in the lgislature following it's enactment In it the members of the legislature vol reduced their powers by pro- viding that no appropriation could be ir creased above the amount recom- mended by the budget commission except

TYR. W. B. Caldwell of Mon H ticello, Illinois, was and is a ~ family doctor. The whole human body, not any small part of it, was his practice. More than half his calls" were on women, children and babies. They are the ones most often sick. But their illnesses were usually of a minor nature-colds, levers, head aches, biliousness-and all of them required first thorough evacuation. They were constipated.
 Dr. Caldwell in the course of 40 years practice, for he was grad uated from Rush Medical College back in 1875, had found a good deal of success in such cases with a prescription of his own contain ing simple laxative herbs with pepsin. In 1892 he decided to use this formula in the manufac- ture of medicine to be known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and in that year the preparation was first placed on the market. The picture of Dr. Caldwell that ap- pears on the package was taken in that year.
 The preparation immediately had as great success in the drug stores as it previously had in the doctors private practice. Today the third generation is using it.

REPUBLICANS REPUDIATE LEAGUE
Rump Faction Leader
Breaks With His Wife,
Who Sides With Bryan

One of the most striking human
interest sidelights of the demo-
cratic convention yesterday after
noon was the action of ]. S. Nc
Carly of Lincoln, appearing be-
fore the credentials committee in
an efforts to unseat his wife, who
was member of the Bryan dele
CATION from Lancaster county.
Mr.. McCarty was a member Of
the rump convention, which was
held at Lincoln Monday after
noon. In fact, he was one of the
seven men who called that con-
vention and in that capacity he
was one of the leading protestants
before the credentials committee
to contest the seats of the Bryan
delegation.
Seated a few feet from him was
his wife, who was with the Bryan
delegates from Lancaster, having
been regularly elected by the Lam
caster county convention which
was held on May II.
Mr.. McCarty, who also is a
member of the state democratic
central committee, made a stron
plea against what he asserted was
the illegal manner in which the
Bryan delegation was named. If
hes had won his wife would have
lost her seat in the convention.

Allies Counting On
America 5 Help to
Liquidate War Deb1

Paris, May 18.-Co-operation by
the United States is very largely
counted upon by allied circles and
particularly by the French for sue
cess of the scheme of liquidation of
war debts and reparations, the prin-
ciples of which were laid down by
Premiers Lloyd George and Mil
lerand at the recent conference in
Hythe.
French official circles consider
that the German bond issues on
which the whole plan rests must
largely be accepted by the United
States in payment of French debts
or the system will fail. Great
Britain's acceptance of these bonds
in payment of the debt of France
also depends upon their acceptance
by the United States
1t was said today that suggestions
would be welcomed since the Hythe
conference left all the details to be
worked out by experts.

at midnight Monday. Families in

murderer of his wife and two boy
babies. Tuesday committed suicide
over his wife's grave i'll Bethle-
hem cemetery three miles east. OF
here. Beas1ey shot himself in the
right temple.
Beasley had been hunted by about
80 possemen almost continuously
since last Friday. A woods near
here had been combed twice, but
Beasley was not found.
Shortly before noon he emerged
from the woods, accompanied by
his brother, Denlar, and visited the
graves of his wife and two sons.
His eyes became tear-dimmed, his
brother said, and before he could be
restrained he had drawn revolver
from his pocket, and kneeling at
the graveside, pulled the trigger.
Two farmers were working in a
field nearby and rushed to the grave.
"He died game,".. the farmers
quoted Delmar as saying, "he said
the authorities would never get him
alive"
De1mar said he and his brother
had been in the woods since last
Wednesday, although they knew the
woods was being searched.
Beasley was charged with having
murdered his wife and babies in a
pasture near Webster City, Ia, May

alton with Mrs. Beasley, from whom
