-Q ' TLHE PAILIJADIUM-1912 ff Carr. CH,xRL13s P. Rochas For many years a working member of the Troy Normal's Board, Captain Rogers was rarely, if ever, absent from a meeting. A true representative of the old school southern gentleman, of whom we have read much and seen little, his friends in Troy always welcomed his coming with genuine warmth. Captain Rogers was born in Petersburg, Ya., in ISKKZ, and was educated at Princeton University. He began his career as a civil engineer in Alabama in 1852. His entire life has been spent in developing her matchless resources, mines, forests, rail roads, etc. He has located and constructed many of the railroads of Alabama, as well as of other states. Captain Rogers has been kept almost constantly in public life in a political way for the last quarter of a century, being a member of the House or Senate of the State almost without break during that time. He was also a member of the Constitutiozial Convention of 1901, and was a leader in the work of so modifying the suffrage clause of our organic law as to insure the political supremacy of the whites. He entered the Confederate army as a private of the famous Klontgomery 'lirue Blues in 1801. He afterwards rose to the rank of captain and continued in active service until the surrender of Lee. He has been the Commander of the Cowfederate Veterans of Lowndes County, and is at present a member of the State Senate. I 5
