Trouble with Projection - LCC

I'm trying to plot a property parcel shp file, and it keeps plotting in
Pennsylvania instead of North Carolina.
It also prints out the wrong size. (much to big )
I've posted my parcel layer (from the .map file ) and the PRJ file that
came with the shp file.
What am I doing wrong ?
My map file output projection is :
PROJECTION
"proj=longlat"
"ellps=WGS84"
END
Thanks !
Jim
