Advantage of Good Roads.

1t is to the great advantage of
smaller cities and towns to have
the farmers patronage, remarks
the Florence Times. But if that
is to be secured, one very necessary
thing is to have the roads in good
passable condition at all sersons of
the year. Farmers have been
known to avoid towns near at hand
but to which the approach is well
nigh impossible in wet weather,
and go miles further to buy and
sell in towns the roads to which
are kept in good order. To let roads
remain in bad condition because it
takes money to improve them is
exceedingly poor economy.

The Convention.

The Republican Third Railroad
district convention now in ses-
sion at Paris has developed into
a very stormy session. Garrett,
who leads far in the number of
instructed delegates failed by
only few votes to organize the
convention but it took the corn
bined forces to defeat him. The
outlook now for either Garrett or
Craig, the next strongest candi-
date, is gloomy, though Garrett
should win over all the other
candidates, and he probably
would do so were it not for the
strong anti g. o. p. Bradley it is
understood being for Garrett.

STATEHOOD BILL
EASILY PASSED
Vive VOce Vote DispOses of Measure
Affecting Arizona and New
Mexico.

Washington, May 24.-The joint res
olution admitting Arizona and New
Mexico TO immediate statehood, but
Withholding approval of the constitu-
tiOn of both states until the people
have voted on certain proposed amend
ments TO them, passed the house OF rep
resentatives yesterday afternoon by a
viva voce vote. No roll call was de-
manded on the final vote. On pre-
ceding motion TO recommit the resolu-
tion. made by Republican Leader Mann,
81 republicans voted with the demo
Gratis, defeating the motion, PA to 81.
The resolution requires Arizona to
vote on an amendment removing the
recall provision as 1t applies to judges
and requires New Mexico to vote on an
amendment making it's constitution
more easily smendable in the future.
Neither state is required to adopt the
amendments proposed by congress, and
the constitution of the new states will
stand finally approved when the re-
spective votes have been taken.
Efforts were made by the republicans
to force Arizona to vote out of its con-
stitution the recall OF judges and to
give immediate and unqualified ap-
proval TO the New Mexican constitu-
ton. Both provisions were rejected
singly.
