Regrets Expressed That Germany May Not Fight Czechs A mixed feeling of relief and regret was evident In Brevard at noon Wed. nesday when a radio news flash brought word that pending war betwen Germany and Czechoslovakia had been temporarily averted. Many there are in Brevard who expressed the belief that Hitler s Ger man forces would eventually have to be shown with bayonets and machine guns the rights of democracies, and believe that now is the the most ac ceptable time. The radio news flash to the effect that Hitler had called for a meeting in Munich, Germany, of Premier Dela dler of France, Prime Minister Cham berlain of England, and Premier Mus solini of Italy, to consider terms of peace, caused nearly as much con sternation here as would have the broadcast that fighting had started. The four-power meeting will be held In Munich on Thursday, and Mussolini Is expected to preside over the ses sions. “Hitler backed down!" was general expression of the average Brevardtte when the news came over the radio and at the same time, there was ex pressed admiration for Prime Minister Chamberlain of England, and Presi dent Roosevelt of the United States, both of whom had sent appeals Tues day to Hitler to refrain from mobiliz ation.

When Mr. Hog touches the wire he gets a slight shock that puts the fear In him as to going near It again. Mr. Tongue’s fence Is operated by a hotshot battery and Is giving splendid service. It looks as though the electric fence will solve the problem as to hogging down com for it can be easily moved and Is very economical T. J. Wilson and Otto Alexander have each bought registered Hereford bulls which were delivered to their respec tive places last Saturday. These bulls would bo classed as among the very best that have ever been brought into the county.
