Resolutions
(The following .resolutions should
3,ave been published last week, but
Hack of power prevented. The Editor.)
The announcement on the evening
rjf June 18,- 1925, that Sam L. Rogers
was dead, and that he would no longer
Ibp with or again taVe the place or
places that he had so honorably and
efficiently filled, could hardly be real
ized 'by anyone. . r
From his earliest days up to the
time of his death, he had been inter
ested in every public question that
(presented itself to the people of his
tnmnty and town, and no one was
jsnore universally loved or confided, in
Hhan Sam L. Rogers, considered by
vail a man of sound judgment, being
horn in Macon county and growing
nip among its people. -
At an early age the people demand
ed his serivces, and elected him clerk
of the Superior Court of Macon coun
ty to which office he . was elected at
about the age of 21 years. Later he
vas appointed as chief clerk in the
office of U. S. Collector of Internal
Revenue at Asheyillc. Later on, he
was appointed as.U. S. Collector of
'Jnlprnal ' Revenue. Following this
Veriod he was elected State Corpora
lion Commissioner, and filled this po
rtion for 12 years. In 1915 he was
appointed Di-ector of the Census, and
Silted this position until the admini
stration changed hands.
rTn'iall the places entrusted to him,
Vhtre never was a murmur of charge
Vhat they were r.ot filled with the
greatest and highest ability, and man
aged by the most conscientious and
economical methods.
" Alter 'his return home from Wash
ington City, he remained . with his
family and friends until he was ap
' pointed, by Governor A. W. McLean
to a member of the State Salary and
Wage Commission taking the place of
Secretary, and had just entered upon
is duties as such, when be was taken
i llr. Rogers became interested in
t he first bank that was established in
; Macon county, the Bank of Franklin,
md ha$ been i constant, safe, upright
and conscientious director of the bank
, fend its management since its first
vajicaing in Franklin. The bank's, suc-
T .......
cess has been to a large extent due to
his untiring efforts in its' behalf and
in behalf of its patrons; the people
having confidence, in him and the
management of the bank finding- his
advice sound at all times.
No man in Macon county has been
more extensively used. His life has
wi a shining light to the people, oi
M acon county, the sta of North Car
olina and the Nation, and to the in
stitution known as the Bank of
Franklin. . ,
"Still will the mighty flame burn on
Through chance and change,,
Through goad and ill, 1
Like its own Gqds eternal will ' '
Deep, constant, , bright unquench
able!" 1 '
Now in view of. the above, it shall
be resolved by the Board of Directors
of the Bank of Franklin:
1. That the Bank mourns the loss of
a wise, upright, faithful,' efficient and
honest director, and that it shares
with all the citizens of the Town,
County, State and Nation in the loss
of this good man.
2. That this, bank tenders to the
widow and children of the deceased its
deepest and most profound sympathy
in the loss of a loving husband and
father whose place in their lives can
never be filled. .... ' .
3. That this preamble and these res
olutions be spread uporr the minutes
of this "board and a copy thereof be
furnished by the cashier to the family
of the deceased, and to the. Franklin
Press. (Signed),
