Nancy Chase in Pictures.

Nancy Chase, a young English
stage beauty, who is said to have
made tremendous success last
spring in Daniel Frohman's London
revival of 'Everywoman," is in Los
Angeles to begin her initial motion
picture contract. The details of Miss
Chase's film afiliation are being with
held, but it is known that one of the
largest picture producers is her back
er. Before playing the feminine lead
in "Everywoman," Miss Chase sup
ported Sir Forges-Robertson and CO.
starred with Albert Chevalier in sew
eral Strand successes. She has a
large following across the water and
by reason of her beauty and peculiar
talent it is expected she will prove
equally popular with the picture
thertergoers of America.

oil for her motors at Dixson Island,
White Sea point. After taking oil
she sailed northeast into the rapidly
freezing water of the Artic ocean.
From the White sea, Amundsen
expects to drift east with the ice to
the New Siberian Islands, which lie
in the Artic off Siberia.
At the New Siberian islands, it was
believed, the drift would carry the
boat toward, if not across, the pole,
Amundsen intended to use the air
planes if he found the drift would not
carry him across the top of the earth.
Amundsen in a degree followed
the footsteps of his countrymen,
Fridtjof Nansen. In 1895-1S96 Nam
sen in the Fran started on a drift
across the pole, but left his boat and
tried unsuccessfully to reach the goal
on foot. Later the Fran drifted as
close to the pole as Nansen got.
The Maud carries wireless sending
apparatus, but no receiving instru-
ments Amundsen said he would not
install the receiving apparatus be-
cause he dnanidtowU tshrdshrdluppu
cause he did not want to be worried
by news from the outside world.

WILL TAKE CHRISTMAS.

According to it's custom for thirty
years and more The Herald and News
will take it's usual Christmas holi-
day. There will be only one paper
issued next week. We will print the
Tuesday paper on Monday afternoon
as usual but there will be no paper
on Friday.
The manager says he is going to
work on Tuesday, but that the office
will be closed the remainder of the
week and that he does not intend to
go near it. He will begin work again
on the Monday following Christmas
and will be ready to serve his friends
and customers.
Well, that will suits the editor all
right, because as supervisor of the
census for the third district he has
been ordered by he director to re-
port in Atlanta on Monday 22d, and
ne expects to spend the balance of the
holidays in meeting with the enum-
orators from the different counties at
the county seat towns, and to talk
over with them the work of taking
the census, and so will be out of town
from Sunday to Sunday. We are try
ing to arrange our schedule so as to
get down to Dyson to spend Christ
mas day with the old folks at home,
and if nothing prevents we are going
to do that.
We desire to wish all the readers
of The Herald and News a happy
Christmas and a prosperous New
Year. 1t should be quiet and
peaceful Christmas, and we should
all be happy that everything is as
good with US as it as. Those who
have been prospered should remem-
Der those less fortunate and make
an effort to see to it that all the
children and all the old people of the
community may be made happy by
the Thoughtful kindness Of those who
have been more favored. The great
est and most successful life is the
one that is most fruitful in service,
and especially in service of those who
really need our service, and if you
render such service you will surely
have your reward and have your
name written high on the great book
Of remembrance.

We notice that Mayor Grace of
Charleston when he was sworn in as
mayor stated that if there were any
employees of the city administration
hat were supporters of the former
administration their designations
would be acceptable. In strange con-
-rast is the statement of Mayor
8lease of Newberry who was sworn
N as mayor about the same time.
Mayor Blease stated that so far as
ne was concerned it would be his
policy to retain the officers who were
and had been serving the city if they
wanted to remain and were efficient.

SANTA'S LITTLE FRIENDS

The editorial space has to give way
again to the advertisers and as they
must let the people know where all
the good things that are needed at
this season may be found it is well
that we give way to them, but we
must ask space just to give another
little Christmas poem from Frank
Stanton for the benefit of the chill
dren. Read it to the children if they
are not yet able to read and tell them
that Santa Claus will certainly come
down the chimbly.

Ben Turpin's Careless Optics.

The optics of Ben Turpin, Mack
Sennett comedy star, have not al
ways been of the careless, cross-pur-
pose variety. Ben says so himself.
Here's his explanation: 81 PLAYED
Happy Hooligan' on the road and !
used the trick of crossing my eyes
to help along the comedy. One morn
ing, after show, got up and looked
at myself in the glass-and fell back
with start, because I could not be-
l;eve it was me. Goodnight! Some
body had put a crimp in my act last
night. Wonder how could get that
away! And I looked at myself again.
Ny eyes were certainly crossed. Then
realized that l had done my little
stunt o,.ce too often. Now, how
ever, I have insured those eyes for
$4,000 to cover the loss to me if
they should ever straighten out
again."

Travers qualified with a score of 1865

better than Francis Ouimet, also
former holder of the national amateur
and open crowns; w. c. Fownes, the
veteran Pittsburgh golfer and Mary

play the New Jerseyite was easilv
beaten by C. G. Waldo, jr., ofSDetroit.
by the large margin of 7 down.
Travers was slated to start in the
Westminster Country championship
early this month, but has withdrawn.
The veteran, however, has not given up
hopes of rounding up into the form
that won many titles for him. Before
participating in future championship
competitions Travers will engage in a
number OF exhibition matches, which
will probably put him on edge.
