New ork. Nov. 24.—Circulation of December notices featured the opening of the cotton market today. Early esti mates placed them at about 150,000 bales. I a °d there was heavy near month liquida tion in the early trading. Offerings of December were absorbed by trade interests, partly against sales of later deliyeritw at slightly wider differ euces, however, and the market showed a generally steady tone. The opening was firm at an advance of 4 to 54 points on covering prpmoted by fairly steady Liver pool cables and expectations that the no tices would be promptly stopped. Active months sold about jM to HH points net higher, but the near month liquidation caused more or less irregularity. After selling at 24.20. .January eased off to 24.12, with active months ruling about 20 to 24 points net higher at the end of the first hour. Opening prices were: December 23.50 to 23.64; January 23.05 to 24.05; March 24.45 to 24.62: May 24.00 to 25.00; July 24.05.

Nov. 24. —A defi nite program for the reduction of traffic hazards throughout the United States may be expected as one of the results of the traffic safety conference which Sec retary Hoover has called to meet in this city next month.

The conference will endeavor to for mulate a national program or policy upon which the federal government may set its approval. Then it will be ui> to the individual states to carry out the pro gram.

English Taking Stem Actions In Egypt Now Egyptian Premier Told That British Forces Will Occupy Customs House at Alexaiv i dria Right Away. CAIRO PEACEFUL ON THE SURFACE British Maintain All Require ments Were Not Met by Egyptians and For That Reason Action Was Taken. Cairo. Egypt. Nov. 24 (By the Asso ciated Press). —Lord Allenby, the Brit ish high commissioner, at noon today, in formed the Egyptian premier, Zagloul Pasha, that instructions had been given for British forces to occupy the Alexan dria customs house. This, lie said, was the first measure to be taken in eonse i queiiee of Egypt's failure to accept all of j the British demonds following the assas- I sination of Sir Lee Stack, the* sirdar. I The indemnity of 500,00 pounds Sterl- I ing. demanded by the British for the death of Sir Lee, was paid by the Egypt ian government at 11 :45 o'clock this morning.

TOBACCO WAREHOUSE AT SANFORD BURNED Planters Warehouse and HO.(KK) Pounds of Leaf Destroyed Early This Morn ing. Sanford, Nov. 24.—Fire of unde termined origin early this morning de stroyed the Planters’ warehouse here, together with ‘approximately 60,000 "pounds of tobacco, and at 2 o’c’ock was threatening another warehouse owned by the Tobacco co-operative association.

Address THE TIMES, Concord, N. C. PUBLISHED MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS CONCORD, N. C., MONDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1924 PHARR IS VERY MUCH IN SPEAKERSHIP RACE Manage a- for Mecklenburg Representative Says His Election Is Certain. Charlotte. Nov. 22.—Edgar XV. -Pharr, of Charlotte, member of Mecklenburg’s delegation in the house of representa tives. is very imu-lt in the race for the apekenship of the next house, according so a statement issued here today b.v Thad deus A. Adams, member or the local bar. and in an unofficial way Phan’s cam paign manager. Mr. Adams issued a statement desig nating as -’propaganda" stories mostly -.lit of Raleigh that **'Mr. Pharr will not be elected speaker of the next house." "Farmer Bob" Box, of Forsyth, is said to be Mr. Pharr's leading opponent for the house job. although Tam Bowie, nf Ashe, recently has been mentioned as a contender for the honor. Mr. Pharr, according to today’s state ment. now has 60 members of the next legislature pledged to him. And, says the statement, he has their pledges above their signatures. Mr. Adams has put bin calculations in writing, tin* number of votes pledged to Pharr in each of the ten con gressional districts. The statement follows: "I have ob erved from time to time in the various state papers tin* propa ganda principally sent out b.v Raleigh re porters intimating that Edgar W. Pharr will not be* elected speaker of the next house of representatives. For that rea son I wil state* the facts based upon my own knowledge. 1 have helped Mr. Pharr in his campaign for more than a year and have therefore 'kept in close tduch with its progress and have handled my self much of the correspondence. There will be about 100 Democrats in the next house of whom Mr. Pharr has more than 60 committed to him by direct statements in their various letters. "In/ addition to these positive and in most cases enthusiastic commitments, we have most favorable- reports from fifteen ■others and which would lead any one ex cept conservative man like Mr. Pharr to regard those as certain to vote for . , - him. "Going by congressional districts, liis pledged .strength is as follows: "First district, five votes; second dis trict, three votes; third district, three votes: fourth district, eight votes; fifth district, iu which Mr. Cox lives. 12 votes; sixth district, seven votes; seventh dis trict, seven vote#; eighth district, seven votes; ninth dfftp-iet, where Mr. Pharr lives, eight.- whirrPtgrtSp ail the Democrat ic votes; tenth district, three votes. "The next legislature will be the fifth rf-onsecutive term of Mr. Pharr’s service as one of the representatives of Mecklen burg county, and lit* led our legislative ticket in the last eleetirfh. -That ex presses what we think of him here, and excluding the candidates for speaker, there will be 28 members in the next house who were in the last house and all of them with the exception of four are enthusiastically supporting Mr. Pharr for speaker. That shows what the gentle men think who have served with him and know his qualifications for speaker. “In conclusion I positively state thaT Mr. Pharr already has enough votes to lhake his election as speaker a certainty, and it is my opinion that he will enter the caucus with something like 75 votes definitely committed to him if the con test lasts that long.’’ GOES TO LANDRUM Dr. G.

French Car Makers Recognize All Chauffeurs Are Not Short. Paris! Nov. 24. —liong Legs finally have overcome tradition in the French automobile. Until this year the body* with liberal room in the driver's seat has been rare “ We’ve always known the driver was cramped,” said one of the leading factory’s representatives recently, “but what w-ou’.d you have us do? In the first ears the driver sat up straight. Later the manufacturers built the body for a short chauffeur, and with most of the room in the back for the owner and his friends. Someone then adopted the j standard of about five feet four as the height of the driver, and this has been maintained. Many people complained, but the practice continued except where the owner ordered a special body and had it built so he himself might drive. But now foreigners, particularly Ameri cans. have presented a strong argument, and it. has been a simple matter to make the change so that leg-room in front is no longer a sign of the car’s price.” North Carolina Candidates Report.
