EMPIE & EMPIE, ATTORNEYS AT
LAW.

In this free country of America merit
always wins and receives the reward
that properly belongs to the degree
shown by individuals. Everyone has an
equal chance, and the reward goes to
those who avail themselves Of this OPP
portunity. The race is not always to
the fleet. nor the victory to the strong,
but perseverance and pluck will always
tell i'm the battles of life. These quail
ties are possessed in a marked degree
by the gentlemen who compose the above
named firm. The fire and impetus of
young blood and the experience acquired
by close application to legal matters
have decided their position in the legal
armament of Wilmington. Among the
brilliant array of lights that may be
found in this profession in Wilmington
there are but few whose reputation pre-
cedes that of the gentlemen composing
this firm. Together they make COM
bination that has seldom been eXcelled
IN Wilmington. They are North Caro-
linians and both were born in New Han

II. M'CLAMMY, ESQ,
Attorney at Law.

An enumeration of the prominent at
torneys at the Wilmington bar would
be incomplete without the name of Her
bert McClammy. and although one of
the Younger attorneys of the city, he has
made a record of which any lawyer might
we'll be proud He was born at Scots
hin, Pender county in 1866, and attended
the county schools until thirteen, when
he entered High Poirt Academy and
afterwards attended the State Univer-
sfty. graduating from the law depart
ment of the latter in 1885. He located
in Wilmington and has since practiced
his profession With a success that one
may always hook for in a person
with Mr. McClammy's advanced ideas
and energy. 1t is quite reasonable that
a man of his ability should receive rec
ognition from the people with whom he
has been associated, and SO In 1890 he
was called to represent New Hanover
county, in the legislature. The record
that he made during this session of tne
legislature is vet fresh in the minds OF
the people. He was the only democrat
elected ON the legislative ticket, his ma
jority being nine hundred, while the
county went republican This is sufh-
Client to attest his wonderful popularity.
Mr. McClammy introduced and had
passed bin abolshing the criminal
court of New Hanover which cost the
county annually from eleven to thirteen
thousand dollars and creating in its
stead what is known as the Circuit
Criminal court of Eastern North Caro-
lima Another bill of his which also be-
came a law permitted the city of Will
mIington to bring suit in the nature OF
a mortgage foreclosure against delinquent
taxpayers and in this manner to collect
about $1J0.000 back taxes due the city.
The constitutionality of the act was sus-
tanned and forever settled the right to
collect back taxes.
Mr.. McClammy has been uniformly
successful in all Of his practice and has
appeared in some of the most important
litigation that has claimed the attention
OF the courts in recent years in Will
mington.

that we can see in the subject of our
sketch the same inherent force and
native ability that SO characterized his
early ancestors.
Mr.. Bellamy's achievements are not
confined to law and politics alone, there
are other things in which he takes equal
ly as much interest and pleasure. Prom
inent among these other lines may be
mentioned his work in the industrial
and commercial development of Whining
ton. A large number of the public in
stitutions of Wilmington bear the inn
press of his influence. He was one of
the prime organizers of the street ran
way. and has been very active in secur-
ing such enterprises as would give en-
plovment to labor, thus adding material
ly to the growth and development of the
city. His remarkable business talent
and energy and his intelligent applica-
ton and use of the same does not stop
here. although in any one of the differ
emf departments already named it would
seem that sufficient success had been at
tanned to satisfy the most ambitious. In
the ancient and honorable occu-
patton of the agriculturalist Mr..
Belamy takes a lively interest
agriculture is not only the
oldest, but the most interesting which
has ever governed the economy of man.
1t is a pursuit which, if carried to a sue
cessful completion. calls for as much
discriminating intelligence and energy as
any other vocation of life. He has

Mr.. Meares is North Carolinian by
birth, and first saw the light of day at
Raleigh. Wake county, December 10Th,
1856 He springs from an old and dis
tinguished family whose name is en-
twined in the history of the Old North
State. His grandfather, ON his father
side, landed on the coast of North Caro-
lima many years ago. His mothers an
cestry is also among the old and dis

ID. Meares, was prominent public char

Went to Rowan county, this State, and
returned to Wilmington in 1867. During
the years 1868 and 1869 he attended
school. During the spring Of 1869 he
secured a position as an office boy. Sub
sequently he held several clerk
ships until 1876 when he became
Private Secretary to Col. Bridgers
President of the Atlantic Coast Line
Subsequently he went to New York and
spent several years as a travelling sales
man, and during that period he travelled
extensively throughout the South, learn
ing to judge human nature, by contact
and contrast. During the spring of 1879
he returned to Wilmington and filed
positions as book-keeper, etc. until July
LIST, 1885, when he was appointed speciai
deputy collector of customs at this port.
This position he successfully filed for a
period of four years. During that time
he took up and investigated the relief
fund tax on jute bagging, and by his per-
sistence and energy was instrumental in
securing the destruction of returning
this tax to the exporters. Mr. AleXan-
der. president of the Farmers Alliance
at that period, was so highly impressed
with the services Of Mr.. Meares in that
instance that he circulated his (Meares0
report all over the State. 1t may here
be stated that our subject owed his posi-

Judge Bennett.
During all this time with laudable
ambition to become more in this world

to succeed in life in spite of all obstacles.

DU BRUTZ GUITAR, ESQ, ATTOR-
NEY AT LAW.

The successful lawyer goes through
trial and vicissitude perhaps more than
men in other professions. In the law,
he who would wear the golden spurs
must win them by sheer merit. At the
Wilmington bar are many who have
won distinction and among these gentle
men we mention DuBrutz Guitar who
with a well-balanced and cultivated in
tellect. genial temperament and a
buoyant energy is laying well the foun-
dation for great usefulness in his chosen
profession. He is North Carolinian by
birth. having been born in Wilmington
in 1866. His father, Du Brutz Guitar,
was a graduate of the State University,
and the foremost member Of the VIII
mngton bar in his day.
Mr. Guitar has never been Interested
in local politics only to the extent of
using his influence for good government
and improvement He is the possessor
of a we'll selected law library and has
acquired a reputation for authoritative
views on legal questions. He makes
speciality of office practice, and in this
has been wonderfully successful, his
practice being one Of the largest and
most lucrative in the State. His success
may be attributed to close application
to business, his answering integrity
and devotion to the interests Of his
clients. A picture of Mr. Guitars ele-

Attorney and Counsellor at Law.
The Wilmington bar has no more pop
ular representative than GeorgeL. Pes
chau. Esq, although he is among the
youngest of its practitioners. Moreover,
Mr.. Peschau is proud of the fact that he
IS thoroughly North Carolinian by both
birth and training. and he is heartily in
with anything and everything that tends
to advance the interests of his native
State generally, and the Eastern portion
in particular. Mr. Peschau attended the
State University three years, took the
law course at that institution, was adj
mitted to practice in 1894, and has since
diligently pursued his profession. While
a general practitioner he makes a spe-
oialty Of common law. He has been en-
gagged in some of the most important
cases that have arisen in Wilmington
during the past few years. Mr.. Peschau
has always been deeply interested in the
States continuous political strife, and
during the last campaign was vigorously
active in furthering the cause of the
Democratic party. lie received the
nomination of his party for the Legisla-
ture in 1898, but withdrew TO affect a
party compromise. He is a most force
full speaker, and his services were much
in demand before the election of last
November. During that memorable
campaign he made great many adj
dresses throughout the county and sec
ton. Careful and painstaking, thought
full, a close reasoner, a brilliant speaker,
the Democratic party may yet expect
much from this talented young lawyer.

ing largely and personally looking after
the cultivation of the crops. In this man
ner no one will doubt that he has had a
material influence in increasing the
wealth and happiness of the people Of
his section.
Mr.. Bellamy is married and has most
interesting family He is possessed of
that easy manner characteristic of those
men at home under all circumstances,
and his genial and entertaining person
atty is in keeping with his fine repu-
tation as a lawyer. politician and bust
ness man. and we but reflect public SEN
timent when we adorn these pages with
his name as that of one of the leading
men Of the State, and who is destined
to gain national prominence.
