The Columbia State prints the fol
lowing interesting interview with Joe
Sparks, former newspaper man well
known throughout the State and who
is now connected with the veterans’
bureau:
“The South’s best bet is- McAdoo,”
said Joe Sparks, in summarizing his
observations during the last twelve
months in traveling over the country
and particularly on a long trip
through the Middle West, and North
west and the Pacific states, from
which he has just returned. Economic
conditions West, he said, more es
pecially the situation in agriculture,
were operating powerfully in Mc-
Adoo’s favor. Mr. Sparks, 'a trained
reporter and a keen student of po
litical trends, comments with confi
dence on the conclusions he has
drawn.
“After several trips into practical
ly every state during the last year,
there is no doubt in my mind,’’ said
Mr. Sparks, “that William Gibbs Mc-
Adoo, war time director of the rail
ways and secretary of the treasury
under President Wilson, will receive
he nomination" forpcgsident

oT~The
The recent withdrawal of Henry Ford
from consideration as a possible presi
dential candidate indicates that the
automobile king has" already read the
McAdoo handwriting on the wall.
Several weeks ago Mr. Ford received
a severe wallop at the hands of
friends of McAdoo in South Dakota.
The action of the South Dakota con
vention in coming out for McAdoo
was the true spirit of the West.
The progressive spirit in Ameri
can politics was born in the South.
The South and the West have the
same ideals. McAdoo was born in
the South and after a few years in
the East migrated West. They have
adopted him out there. It has been
repeatedly demonstrated that the
South and the West can run the coun
try when they line up.
“Oscar Underwood, Mr. McAdoo’s
chief Contender for the Democratic
nomination, has not only flirted with
the ‘wet’ of the East, but is an avow
ed anti-prohibition candidate. No
man can be elected president of the
United States who sponsors the sale
of whiskey. The South and the West
will never support any man who is
‘wet.’
“McAdoo is ‘dry’ through and
through. Underwood is ‘wet.’ Mc
Adoo has practically the entire West
solidly back of him and it is certain
that he will carry practically every
state in the South with the excep
tion of Alabama, Underwood’s home
state, and probably Florida.
“The farmers of the West are dis
satisfied. Disaster has overtaken
many of them, especially in the wheat
country. They charge their miser
able condition against the railway
rates. McAdoo is strong for a revis
ion of freight rates downward. His
attitude on labor is well known and
he will have the many organizations
throughout the country back of him.
"Several weeks ago I attended a
Democratic dinner in Los Angeles.
There were about 500 of the faithful
present. The toastmaster accidental
ly mentioned the name of McAdoo and
there was an explosion. The Califor
nians went wild and cheered the name
for ten minutes. There were many
women present. It was this same
crowd of Democrats that elected Mr.
Wilson in 1916. Many people out
there declared that McAdoo would
carry California, the Hon. Hi John
son being given consideration at his
full strength.
“When JHr. Mellon announced his
now famous tax reduction plan sev
eral weeks ago, McAdoo’s first com
ment was that taxes should be re
duced and the bonus paid at the same
time by the issuance of 50 year bonds.
There is every indication that con
gress will refuse to pass the bonus.
In that event this important issue will
go into the presidential election next
year and it will be carried there by
Mr. McAdoo. The Democratic party
has repeatedly declared for tax re
duction. In the event that McAdoo
carries the fight for the bonus, he
Th« seed promised Abraham,
through which the world was to be
blessed, was fulfilled in the giving of
laaac. Of Isaac’s two sons, Jacob,
the younger, was chosen. To Jacob
was given twelve sons. They became
the heads of the Twelve Tribes of
IsraeL Joseph, a son of Rachel, Ja
cob's beloved wife, was especially
loved by his father. Because of the
, | partiality shown by Jacob, Joseph’s
2 f.brethren, hated him. ^hia hatred was
fanned into flame by his making known
to his brethren certain dreams. There
fore, when his father sent him to in
quire after the welfare of his brethren,
they sold him a slave to Midianite
merchantmen who In turn sold him to
the Egyptlana Under a false charge,
made by Potiphar’s wicked wife, he
was cast Into prison. Through the
interpretation of a dream of one
ot Pharaoh’s servants, and later
Pharaoh’s dream, Joseph was provi
dentially exalted to be Prime Minister
of Egypt He put on a great conserva
tion scheme, which provided against
the bitter famine which came upon all
that country. This sojourn In Egypt
taught Israel In a new way to trust
God, welded them Into a nation, trans
formed them from a nomadic to a set
tled life, and gave thehi acquaintance
with the material advancement of
their time.
1. Joseph Presents Hie Father and
Five Brethren to Pharaoh (Gen.
47:1-6).
L Pharaoh’s Invitation (Gen. 45:-
16-19). Jacob and his sons were in
Egypt by Pharaoh’s invitation. Joseph
went out to the land of Goshen to
meet them. Though now occupying
an exalted position. Joseph was not
ashamed of his father even though he
was a plain country man.
2 Joseph’s Tact (vv. 1, 2; cf. 46:30-
84).
(1) In Introducing his father and
brethren In a personal way, thus
capitalizing his own Influence In favor
of bis kin. Paraoh had high regard
for Joseph; therefore would do moch
for them for Joseph's sake. God does
much for us for Jesus’ sake.
(2) In having his father and breth
ren corns to Goshen (Gen. 45:10).
Bine* possession Is “nine points of the
taw," they were already In Goshen
before asking Pharaoh for permission
to occupy it (v. 4K
(8) In coaching his brethren (Gen.
46:84). He taught them beforehand
what to say, because be knew how

and what to pray for. <
(4) In choosing five, not all (v. 2).
In all probability he chose the five
who would make the best appearance.
He knew the great importance of first
Impressions.
8. Their Request to Pharaoh (w.
8, 4). Joseph anticipated Pharaoh’s
questions and put the proper words
Into their mouths to use In making
their desires known to Pharaoh: “Let
thy servants dwell in Goshen.’’
4. Pharaoh’s Response (vv. 5, 6).
(1) His gracious offer. They wero
to enjoy the best of the land accord-
ing to their choice. He dealt with
them very liberally.
(2) Positions of trust offered to cap
able men among them. He knew how
capable Joaeph was and surmised that
some of hls brethren might be like
wise gifted. This gracious offer was
because they were related to Joseph.
II. Jacob Blessing Pharaoh (vv.
MO).
Though Pharaoh was the great king
and Jacob now a supplicant at hls fest
receiving natural blessings, yet moral
ly Jacob was above Pharaoh and
therefore conferred blessings upon him.
This bumble saint of God Is higher In
dignity than earth's greatest king.
Jacob discloses bis own estimate of
the sarthly life of the believer. Ho
calls It a pilgrimage of short duration.
III. Joseph Nourishes Hls Fathsr
and Brethren (w. 11, 12).
L He placed them In the best of
the lend, according as Pharaoh had
commanded (v. 11).
2 He nourished them (v. 12). Sinc«
there was no bread in all the land to
ho obtained except as dispensed by
Joseph, be distributed to them ac
cording to their needs. Our Joseph,
Jesus Christ, supplies all our needs a&
cording to hls riches In glory.

NIMBLE FINGERS HANDLED
MILLIONS OF CALLS
The addition of 1700 new telephones to the Bell System
in South Carolina has widened the scope of the service
t j meet the growing demands of the people of the State.
There has been a corresponding increase in the use
of the telephone and the value of the service to the
public. , — ; — 1 — —
It is estimated that the operators handled more than
92,111,100 originating local calls in South Carolina last
year and more than 1,617,100 long distance messages.
This is an average of more than 278,850 local calls and
4,890 long distance calls every day.
To render such a service continuously, day and night,
requires 369 highly trained operating room employes.
These “weavers of speech” served you efficiently, con
tinuously and cheerfully, completing 98 per cent of this
enormous volume of traffic promptly and correctly.
