Hillsboro — The Orange Coun ty Board of Commissioners has galled for an investigation to de termine the validity of claims by Alamance County officials tnat W. D. Shoe is a resident of that county. Shoe, 76-year-old resident of tihe Hdbron Church community' in Cheeks Township, Orange Coun ty, has voted and paid his taxes in Orange County for 40 years, CAPITAL REPORTER ^ /w57 Raleigh — The 1951 General .Assembly seems destined to 'go down in history as the Legislature with the rubber stamp leadership. Because the so-called conserva tive leaders seem to be dominated by a handful of lobbyists and a ipolitical-minded banker who sw ings a lot of weight in conserva tive back rooms. It is common talk around Ral eigh and among legislators that the list of committee apponitmente was drarwn up ,by the banker and ■others who were not members of the General Assembly. < It also is generally admitted that the banker and his lobbyist cohorts are deciding matters' of policy. These decisions then are passed along to the Charlie Mc Oarthy-like leaders, who in turn attempt to carry out these dictat ed ,policies in the Legislture. This outside influence has be come so obvious and so pronounc ed that even those conservatives who usually follow the so-called leaders of the General Assembly are becoming disgusted. “I never saw a Legislature so dominated by the lobbyists,” one of these men said. "About five or Six lobbyists, plus this banker and his ball-headed friend, are run Presbyterians Plan Holy Week Series Of Services Hillsboro — Tile Presbyterian Church here has announced a special series .of services to be held at the church during Holy "Week,"-March- 20-23.

Woods, pastor of the Graham Presbyterian Church and former missionary to China; will" "be live 'guest speaker, on Tuesday night, March 20, at the eight o’clock service.

Beard, who is here enroute to a new pastorate at Austin, Texas, will preach Wednesday night. The pastor, Irving E. Birdseye, will officiate for the Sacra ment of the Lord’s Supper on Thursday night, and will conclude the services on Friday night with the traditional Good Friday Can dlelight Scrivec. All the services will begin at 8:00 p. m. Young Conple Achieving Outstanding Success In "Green Pastures I In a county rapidly converting to “green pastures” farming, a shining example is being provided by a young veteran and his wife who credit VA farm training and cooperation of the other -farm agenJCies with their success. Hubert M. Carter was born and reared in town, but he wanted to bo a farmer, even though he did not knoto much about farming. He left his native Roberson Coun ty, came to Orange County and took for his wife Frances Shank in, of the Lebanon Church Ccjn munity. In June oi 1949 they tarted their farming adventure >n their 70 iftre farm near Buck horn. Hubert is a veteran with six years service^ and enrolled in he Veterans’ Farm training sehool 3? Hillsboro in June 1949* The chocl and Frances, along with lubert’s interests in farming, are ;e!'?ing stone good; results.__ * ■ To start the project, the Soil, Conservation Service pfcr?onnel provided a sails map and soil amples have been tested to de ermine ifrhat fertilizer and lime s needed and each acre on the .arm is to be put to its best use. All.that was done the first year was to make plans for ike next •.* i f year. The Carter’s are planning for livestock and chickens as the main projects on their farm. Last year 9.5 acres of corn were grown and 7 acres of pasture were estab lished. Last fall Hubert seeded 10 acres of certified Atlas wheat and 4 acres of certified Arlington Oats, both to be used for seed. For home use 21 acres orf oats were seeded. At the present time the Carter’s have 450 hens, trwo brood sows, with 17 small ipigs, and two gilts ready for breeding. They fed out and sold iKt -hogs in 1950.' usingj pasture and self feeders. One milk cow and two heifers are on the farm at present. . All of this year’s pigs wilt be fed out and sold, and as more acreage is put to . pasture, the Carter’s plan to start a herd of beef cattle. Hubert and Mrs. Carter say that they could not have made their dart on the farm without the as sistance cf the various agricultural ->*encies. To them, and to those wh$ lend them their advice and encouragement, the future looks bright for the Carters who join the ranks of Orahjte County’s sue- ■ x-ssful farmer?. - ning 11^ show. It’s gotten so bad that you have to call up one of the lobbyists in order to find at least one of the so-called leaders.” This disgruntled conservative, and several others like him, still are following their rubber-stamp leaders,, br' it won’t take much more erf the obvious lobbyist con trol to make some of them re volt,—-_L___ As one legislator put it, “I’ve got a pretty strong stomach but this is enough to make anyone sick. You might say that some of -us are beginning to get a touch of ptomaine poisioning from this stuff they’re trying to feed us." -o The Legislature’s trip to Camp Lejeunelast week was indicative of the state of affairs. The Marines invited members of ^the Legisla ture and the press to make the trip. Practically every major lob byist* went along for the ride- - a state of affairs that caused many a raised eyebrow among the law makers. It seems that the so-called legislative leaders took it upon themselves to invite their policy making masters. Even the big bad hanker was invited, but did not make the trip.

J o’clock and details of the pro ?ram will be announced next. week. _ . . '■ . ;j it was reported to the Commis sioners. This year during ; flax listing time. Shoe advised iTax Lister Henry FL Heath he had been tbld he was a resident at Alamance County and that he had listed in Melville township of Ala mance County. Thus the matter was reported to Orange County .tax officials and the Board of Commissioners at their last regular meeting. The Commissioners directed Tax Supervisor Ward to confer with Alamance officials regarding the matter and report to them at their next meeting. Alamance County officials gave his version of the affgir to The News. Shoe, it was reported, had his property surveyed last sum mer fay private surveyors in order to convey part of it to his ton. At that time they told him his property was in Alamance Coun ty, and that he should so advise tl>e tax people of that county. In January Shoe itold his story to Alamance officials, who told him that' he was listed on their coun ty map drawn by a surveying firm in 1928 and that he should list in Alamance County. Bo*<h Shoe and Orange County officials say that some residents living .west of Shoe vote and list in Orange County. Thus, whether Shoe is a resi dent of Orange or Alamance counties is a moot question pend ing further action by the Orange County Board of Commissioners. Whether they will accept the Ala mance County map as official or call for their own survey is a matter for decision following the ubmission orf Ward’s report. In a recent depute between T>urham ard Wake counties over the exact boundary line at one j^nint. the General Assembly threw the matter back to the swo coun ties for settlement by the two 4 Boards of Commissioners.
