PAUL CARR , Mystery Farm Of The Weel^ 11 1 .. | u Who Owns This Mystery Farm? -. .-.seiwji—i—-t—»— -:-- ■. Lasi week'* mystery farm brought a division o' opinion as to it's identity, as has occurred-so— often in the past. First callers thought it was the Doc .Corbitt farm in the Carr Store section of Northern Orange, others said it was the d. E. Lat a farm in the Schley community. The owner has not yet come forward with positive icVmtification. Deputy Sheriff Buck Knight was the first caller for the Corbitt side while Mrs. Bill MiH»r was the .first to mention the Latta possibility. One or .the other will receive a free year's subscription to this newspaper aV first prize when the ownpr, who " himself wilt-receive a beautifully moun tpd.phot o is it appeared in the newspaper, comes forward. A. F. Thompson and Gordon Liner were other early callers mentioning the Corbitt piece. | and chairman of the latter body. I Hamlin submitted his resigna tion, after serVipg as chairman for the past six years, to the State Board of Elections several weeks ago. The Democratic committee's action was in the form of a recom mendation to the State Board, but such recommendations usually are tantamount to election. Latta after serving a long tenure as sheriff did not seek reelection in 1954 He was likewise recommended as one of the three Democratic no minees to be submitted to the State Board for the full term ap pointment, an action which the county body had scheduled for February 8. Others recommended for the nfull term were C. A. Kirkpatrick atuf Clyde Carter, of Chapel Hill.. 'Che Domocratic committle, with %!gnt members present and others represented by proxy, voted un animously to ask the County Com I misiopers and the representatives in the Genefat Assembly, whcn| they fa/Vi chosen, to support a pro-1 posal adyanced by Chapel Hill | acea school officials to increase the j membership of the Orange County! Board of Education to five mem- i ber. :. ! Changing the size of the board requires a special act of the legis lature. Five Named Development Board Members Five members nave been ap-V pointed to serve with the officers as an executive committee for the proposed Hillsboio Development group. They are Bonner D. Sawyer, R J. Smith Sr., Jame^ Freeland. M. L. CatesePr and R O. Forrest. ' They, with Chairman Wilson Cole, Vice Chairman C. D. Jones, s and Secretary N. L. Mauroner, will form the executive commit tee of a group seeking to form a development corporation and eventually to construct a building ( to keep Reverie Lingerie. Inc,, in the community and to enable it to" expand its operations: Vote Is Moved Up 1 Week To March 27th The formal campaign in behalf of the proposed two million dollar school bond issue got underway this week with the appointment of co-chairmen- and the drafting of preliminary organizatioaal plans at the feat meeting of a 40-member steering group named last week. Named as co-chairmen for the campaign by the county’s two school boards were William S.* Ste ward of Chapel Hill and Remus J.. Smith Sr. of Hitlsborb. Organizational plans followed an announcement earlier that the el ection will be held on March 27th, one week later than had originally been* set by the Board Of County Commissioners, because of legal requirements dictated by the New York bond attorneys handling the ijuue. ~ It was revealed late last week that the County Commissioners, although calling the election at their November meeting for March 20, had failud to consult bond at-~ torneys to determine the timetable : far the publication of various legal I notices and the mooting of other | requirements to carry the elec I tion through. When bond attorneys , were finally consulted last week, it I was ascertained that sufficient time did not remain to meet legal requirements. A notice of intention to apply to the local government commission for approval of the bonds may , be fpund elsewhere in this edition. Ci^zens may file objections to the proposed issue anytime in the next l6 days and the consideration of nch objections will be befqge- the Commission ir> K..- deU>h4fI,on /of whether or not it may hold a public hearing on the matter. Under the prepent timetable registration books will open on March 3 and remain open through March 17 with March 24th as chal lenge day. i Stfewart is judge of the Chapel \Hi!l R<vorder's court and has been active in civic and political affairs in the University community for the past several years. Smith is a member of the Hills boro town board .and ia in the fur niture business at the county seat; He is a former teacher in the Hills- ‘ boro schools, a former chairman of the county board of elections,’ and active in many phases of the church a,nd community life. A s&ohg representation of the steering group and school officials y. from all pare- of the county braved I the snow Sunday night for the school bond meeting. during which promotional strategy and plans fur financing were discussed. ■ The cd-chairmifih are expected to . announce committees soon to hand le publicity, finance, speaking, pre cinct organization, liaison with various organizations: Members will come frpm inside the steering group and outride, it was agreed.

When the sheriff's.'party closed in on'the ,still, they found a trio •hard at work running the 50-gal lon steaip still. When the Sheriff flushed the ^group from one side the fcjrio ran, the Sheriff in hot pursuit. Yelling and making noise to attract the attention of the wait ing deputies, Claytdn ran through the still area and helped capture two of the men while a third made good his escape. A sfibf was even i heard above the uproar. When the group finally retuitie^ to pour out the 13 gallons of moonshine already and the 180 gallons of mash in* work, and .destroy the still, another operator still lay. fast asleep against a tree, oblivious to the commotion that had gone ,on. Upon being prodded with aft ol ficial foot, (fiobeft Lee Dunstan opened one eye. protesting the im positiont. and then the other pop ped when he recognized the Sher iff. Too late, however, he had al- ■ ready been handcuffed to Ernest “Boy" Mack, one of the captured, before he was awakened! Robert Woods of Hurdles Mills. Route 2, was the third man arrested.
