The Chatham Record Cif ARLES ROGERS DEAD Former Pittsboro Boy Who Won Dis tinction and Wealth in Florida Passes at Age cf 74 I w 1 " T'-mos-Union of Jacksonville, i lorida, in its issue cf November 16, ‘-•Junes h. b’g iront-page . ami ounce ment of the death of ft pid*l ers, under the caption “Prominent retired Business, Man Dies/’ To doubtless of the citizens of -natharn county, would the anncunce- ii seen in the T:mes-Union sug an icera of home news. Charles B. Rogers was a Chat nam county product. He was a ccu v n 7 °C Mw. Henry Bynum. However, ns leic Uktsboro when a youth of only seventeen, according to the count, Dm very year the editor of the Rec ta d was born. Accordingly, there are few Chathamites who remember the boy who was to go to Florida and become wealthy and distinguished. ike Times-Union gives the follow ng aeeount of the career of this for mer Chatham youth: % ‘The early life cf Mr. Rogers reads like a bus nr.ss romance. FI" was born in Pittsboro, N. C. in 1552, and during the time of the Civil war the family plantation became impov erished forcing him to seek his place in life at the age of 17 when he went to Cedar Keys, Fla., and took a cler ical position with the Florida rail road. After several months he en gaged in the general merchandising business later establishing himself ir. the wholesale grocery business. In 1886 he came to Jacksonville and established his wholesale . house. In this venture he was associated with the late T. V. Porter, former United States Senator James P. Taliaferro and the late E. A. Champlin. The organisation of the naval store com pany ar.d the Consolidated grocery concern followed. In 1898 he was elected to the state .senate, where he made a record of useful service sup porting wise legislation. He refused to run for re-election. He also served j as a member cf the board of election commissioners of Duval county. Made City Commissioner In 1917 the city council elected him a member of the city commission and he served in this capacity until 1921. i Mr. Rogers was also a past exalted ruler of the Benevolent and Frotec jtive Order of Elks, serving as ruler J tor two terms. He was also a mem j her cf the Seminole club, the Lions I club, the Florida Country club and the Florida Yacht club. He is a mem - ber of the Church of fV, ° Good Shen herd. He is survived by his widow, for merly Bliss Mary Aline Coachman whom he wed in and eight chil dren: C. B. Rogers Jr., Edgar H. Francis, Jcanna E. and Alonzo C. and Mrs. John L. Holmes, all of Jackson ville and Mrs. R. F. Blitchell and Mrs. Jack B. Bower of Pensacola, and two sisters, Blrs. Mary F. Richards and Mrs. O. H. Hodgson both of Jackson ville.” SNAKE FOUND IN ~“ BUNCH OF BAN AN AD Mr. C. E. Bland could hardly be convinced that a colored man who told himqthat a snake was nesting in a newly arrived bunch of bananas hang ing in the Bland store knew what he was talking about. But the negro insisted thhat it was a live snake, and an investigation proved the fact. When his snakeship was pulled from the cosy fiook of the banana bunch in which he had journeled from the ' tropics or semi-tropical climes, it was I found that he measured 34 inches in ' length and was of proportionate 1 girth. His like had not been seen by Pittsboro folk before. ~CLUB NOTES The regular meeting of the Wom i an’s Club will be held in the club room I Wednesday afternoon at three o’clock.
