VICTOR HUGH BOYDEN
One Of Raleigh's Aggressive
Young Lawyers Who IN
joys An Excellent
Practice.
A SPECIAL PRACTICE 0E
A SPECIAL PRACTICE OF
Internal Revenue Law, for Which He IS Espe-
cially Equipped. A Brief Sketch
Of His Career.

1t seems remarkable deduction from
things that be that if every one should
prepare himself for his life's work there
would be considerably less failures to
chronicle as each individual throws him
self into the battle of a life work with
out preparing for an undertaking, the
undertaking does not amount to much.
Victor Boyden recognized the import
ance of this fact in the outset, and in
consequence of this he is today one Of
the most thoroughly equipped men for
his special branch of the legal profes-
sion in the State.
He was born at Salisbury. Rowan
county, May 2nd, 1870. He springs from
one of the old and distinguished families
of the Old North State His paternal
grandfather was a distinguished lawyer
of the North Carolina bar, and was a
ZONE Court Justice of the. State. Our
aaternal grandfather was Ma
ole, who was one of the
anential citizens
fore and
hern
Matt
i. years
of his - First
National Banh
Young Boyden was - tom the
University of North Carol..- in 1894
with the degree of Ii =. He Secured
his license to practice law in the spring
of 1894, but in order to take up the
speciality of internal revenue law and
become thoroughly acquainted with
every detail he entered the office of the
Collector of Internal Revenue at Raj
eigb, February, 1895.
His work in that division brought him
into contact with the execution Of the
of the internal revenue laws as well as
gave him wide circle of acquaintances
throughout the district He left the SER
vice and began the active practice Of in
ternal revenue law.
He at once secured a large clientele,
the majority of whose acquaintance he
had formed in the service, who retained
him Immediately upon his beginning
practice.
He has been peculiarly successful in
the prosecution of his profession winning
most of the cases that have been placed
in his hands.
His intimate knowledge of the internal
revenue laws, gained while in the SER
his eases and fully protect his clients
interests. TO know where and how
to elicit evidence in the trial of internal
revenue cases requires an intimate
knowledge of the intricate system, and
this is his peculiar strength in the trial
of such cases.
Mr.. Boyden is a member of the Capt.
tai Club, Raleigh, the Sigma NJ Frater-
nifty, Greek letter society, having chap
tiers in all of the universities and colleges
of prominence. He is also member of
the Senior and Junior Order Of Cling
houls University Of North Carolina. His
office is situated in the CaDital Club
building, where he can always be found
during business hours.
Concluding this sketch it may be said
that his success thoroughly illustrates my
first remark in the beginning of this
article.
Personally, Mr.. Boyden is a man of
fine address, pleasant and affable and in
consequence Of which he has large
circle of friends throughout the State.

knowledge Of the laws, make him de-
fender much to be desired and eagerly
sought after, and an opponent to be dis
tinctly respected, if not feared. His
logical mind and tenacity of purpose
have won many case considered we'll
nigh hopeless.
This sketch has endeavored to de-
scribe the life and works of man who
is truly, as we have limited before,
grand example to place before the youth
of the country. In these times ut mas
been said by some that the splendid pro-
fession of law has degenerated, that
nowadays lawyers were nothing hut a
lot of shysters to be hired Tor any and
every purpose. No refutation of this
SANDER could possibly be stronger than
merely pointing to man like the subject
of our sketch as a lawyer in active
practice at this fin de steele period, and
challenging any and all to produce any
one fact in his legal record that could
by any twisting be called the act &C a
shyster. No! the legal profession has
not degenerated, simply because in som.
of our large cities are to be seen spcri-
mems of what are called shysters. As
well call all the fruit of a tree rotten be-
cause we have found one piece decayed.
The legal profession is like every other
walk i'm life; rogles will creep in to take
advantage of the great work of honest
men, but let us not blame the honest
men because the rogues have crept in;
let us rather try to locate the rogues and
drive them out, as our Lord once drove
the money-changers from the Temple.

man in ten thousand, a man that
could accomplish whatever he set out to
do IN any walk in life whatsoever. This
peculiar ability to organize men in large
bodies is a rare one, and the man pos
sesslng 1t ought always to be given full
pay for its practice, for he can accom-
push great things in any given line, and
especially in the field of politics
However, Mr. Smith is a man devoted
TO his profession. To him the practice
OK law is life work. On this account,
tnere IS perhaps all the more honor to
MIN for not plunging entirely into poll
Tics and devoting his whole time to it.
W men man is fully aware that he has
II within him to make himself famous,
his tname household word, by giving
up his life work for the glamour or
public life, and still resolutely clings to
the life work, only making temporary
excursions into politics when urged to
do so for the sake of his party, state, or
country, surely that man is deserving
OF the highest praise that can be be-
slowed upon him, since that species of
self-Sacrifice for the sake of work
that benefits others can only be ranked
among the very highest of human attri-
buteS.
As practitioner of the law Mr..
Smith has few equals at the bar OF
North Carolina, or indeed at any bar.
Ills keen sense of justice, innate con-
ception of what is right, discrimination,
power of reading human nature, force
of character, determination OF will,

Postmaster of Raleigh.
Mr.. Bushee is an ardent Democrat
and has rendered his party most eff
Gent service He is out of active poll
ties however and is attending strictly
to his large and constantly growing
practice He is considered one of the
ahlest aad hrainiest lawyers of The
State and is competitor worthy of the
steel OF any practicing at the bar OF
North Carolina.
Personally. he is a genial, polished
aud cultured gentleman highly esteem
ed and respected by legions of friends
throughout the entire State. In the
practice of his profession he has been
particularly successful, having been iden-
tilted with some of the heaviest litiga-
ton in this section. BY sheer energy,
tact and SKILL he has forged to the
front and achieved that success which
true merit always wins, and which he
so richly deserves. May his future be
one of continuous success and prosperity,
is the ardent wish of the writer.
