Mack Borland of Pinchard One Of Alabama's Young Mayors

Mack Borland, 33, mayor of Pinchard, Alabama, farms about 4,000 acres with his father and brother and says farming comes first. Born into a local Borland family, he became head man after a council meeting where he was present at 3:30, succeeding former mayor J. W. Harris. Educated at Howard College, Louisiana Tech, and Auburn, Borland taught briefly before joining the Farm Service Administration. The town has no police or fire departments, its budget relies on county and state revenue, and Pinchard owes about nothing with around $8,000 in bonds and cash for improvements when prices drop.
