FARMERS UNION
Election of Officers and Report of
 Secretary Griffin.

Little Rock, August 9,-J. E Lewis of Craighead county was yesterday elected president of the Farmers Educational and Co operative Union of Arkansas. He was elected on the second ballot over four other candidates. The election of the president brought out the only real contes', and this was of friendly nature. Presi- dent D. P. Tuustall was d candi- date for reelection, aud the na mes of J. T. NJ. Holt of Hampstead county, J. F. Palmer of Monroe county and Rev. A. D. Cullum of White county were also presented to the convention.
 Ben l. Griffin was reelected secretary and treasurer by accla- nation, although some opposition manifested itself at first. J. H. Rotten of Izard county and A. F. Austin of Yell county were nomi- mated for secretary and treasurer, but before the ballot was taken both withdrew their names. MT. Austin announced that in view of the work done by Mir. Griffin he was entitled to reelection, and was the best man that the union could find for the place. After the other names were withdrawn Mr. Griffin was elected by accla- nation.
 Ben L. Griffin, secretary and treasurer, presented his report, which was received with much enthusiasm. Regarding the mbership of the organization, Mir. Griffin said:
 Now, as to the growth of the union n Arkansas since my last report. 1 wish 10 state that in that report we only had 1,33S local unions chartered up to that time. We now have 1912 char tered local unions on the rolls, thus making an increase for the year of o54 local unions, and we have sixty-seven county unions and nineteen district unions char tered 1 estimate that the locals have au average membership, ac- cordiug to their reports, of thirty five each, thus making an in crease in bcrship for the year of l9,000. Of the 1,972 local unions that have been chartered from the beginning of the work lu Arkansas, there are Al dead, or else have not paid any dues for the last six months. This will reduce the number of active local unions to 1,S5l, and with an average membership of thirty five (and l am sure that 1 can be perfectly safe in making all aver age of thirty-fve) this would make the present membership 64, 0S5. Of this number the high est number that 1 have ever been able to collect dues from any one quarter, was 42,039 This in- cludes both chartered aud un- charted unions. There are some sixty-odd local unions that have been organized that make regular reports, but have not yet bees chartered. From the most cor rect data that 1 have there have been some S0,000 limitations in the state since the work was com menced.
 The financial report showed the total amount collected during the year to heve been SIP. 2.3lS B, tue total disbursement SS,7l3.64, A loan of Sl.000 was made 10 the National Executive committee, leaving a cash balance in the treasury of S3, 607 40.

Upon the death of MT. Hay. Secretary Shaw came into full possession of the tilte, and in and be- yond the limits of the national capital he is known as the best story-teller in the Cabinet and one of the cleverest in public life to-day. This enables him to make frequent additions to his collec- ton of anecdotes. Secretary Hay once ''let the cat out of the bag" when af- ter Cabinet had been In session for sev- eraI hours official circles were agug with speculation as to whether the United States intended making war on Venezuela for the purpose of driving President Castro off the continent. To the query as to whether the acute sit uation in Venezula was responsible for the usual length of the Cabinet session, MT Hay replied; Foreign affairs were not discussed this morning in the Cabi- lnet. Shaw has been telling us some good stories for the last hour'
 So keen is the sense of humor of the secretary of the treasury that he fre- Iquently tells the Cabinet joke on him. self.

He was pained to receive letter from her about month ago saying that the dog had been purchased and was on it's way home to Washington las he was too much trouble to look af-
 ter in Paris. The dog arrived in due season, and was taken to the Arling- ton Hotel where the secretary has apartments. The secretary gave ord. CTS how the dog was to be fed and
