1	Constructor Richmond Pearson Hobson 1870-1937 Richmond Pearson Hobson was one of the great heros of the Spanish-American War, following only Theodore Roosevelt and George Dewey. Hobson's fame and popularity was the result of leading an unsuccessful attempt to block the harbor of Santiago de Cuba by sinking the collier MERRIMAC in the entrance. Hobson was born August 17, 1870, in Greensboro, Alabama. His father was a Confederate veteran of the American Civil War, and the family lived on the family estate of Hobson's mother, a plantation called "Magnolia Grove". He was the second of seven children. Young Richmond attended private school, and the Southern University in Greensboro from 1882 to 1885. He won a competitive test for appointment to the Naval Academy at age fourteen. At Annapolis, Richmond was the youngest in his class. His strong religious views created difficulties for him with classmates. Midshipman Hobson was later put in "coventry", or cut off from all social contact with his classmates, for putting some of the other students on report. He spent his last two years in this state of isolation. However bad his social situation, his academic life flourished. During his years at the Academy Hobson never ranked lower than third in his class. He also developed an interest in steam engines and naval architecture. Hobson graduated from Annapolis in 1889, ranked first in his class. He was offered the opportunity to study naval architecture abroad and did so, in Paris at the Ecole National Superieurdes Mines in 1890 and 1891. This was followed by studies at the Ecole d' Application du Genie Maritime from 1891 to 1893, where he graduated "with distinction." After his return to the United States, Hobson served for a year and a half as an assistant naval constructor in the Navy Department's Bureau of Construction and Repair at Washington D.C. He attempted to get a posting to Asia during the Sino-Japanese War, and also to Europe, but his requests were denied. Instead, Hobson was sent aboard the USS NEW YORK, and served in various shipyards in the northeast. During this time, a superior officer accused Hobson of neglect of duty for accepting some defective metal castings. He was eventually vindicated by Acting Secretary of the Navy, Theodore Roosevelt. In 1897, Hobson created and ran the third year program for naval construction at Annapolis. As war loomed, the entire class went to Key West, Florida to continue the students' education with the North Atlantic Squadron. It was while serving with Admiral Sampson on the USS NEW YORK that Hobson was given the task of sinking the MERRIMAC to block the entrance to Santiago Harbor. The effort failed and Hobson was taken prisoner. He was exchanged on July 6, 1898, and, to his surprise, found himself a national hero. After the war, Hobson had himself appointed Inspector of Spanish Wrecks, charged with determining if any of the damaged and sunken Spanish vessels at Cuba could be raised and reused. He succeeded in raising the REINA MERCEDES and the INFANTA MARIA TERESA. Hobson next went to the Far East to continue his salvage efforts with the victims of Dewey's attack. Here he salvaged the ISLE DE CUBA, ISLE DE LUZON and DON JUAN DE AUSTRIA. On his way to the Philippines, Hobson, still the popular war hero, was accused of kissing his way across the United States as he accepted the requests of ladies to be kissed. When the press began making an issue of it an embarrassed Hobson refused all future requests. Hobson's hero status also created tension with his fellow officers, many of whom avoided him. About this time, he began to suffer from inflammation of the retina, which was aggravated by exposure to sunlight and desk work. Hobson requested a medical discharge beginning in 1900. The request was denied. In 1901 Congress passed a joint resolution thanking Hobson for his exploits aboard the MERRIMAC. The resolution promoted him from Lieutenant to Captain, and also advanced him ten positions on the Construction Corps seniority list. This action served to make Hobson even more of an outcast among his fellow officers, who resented the preferential treatment. He resigned his commission in 1903. Hobson's departure from the Navy gave him time for other pursuits also. In 1905 he married Grizelda Houston Hull, the great-great niece of Confederate general Leonidas Polk, the great niece of former Alabama governor, George Houston, and a cousin of General "Fightin' Joe" Wheeler. These connections would serve him well in political life. As a civilian, Hobson took up the lecture circuit, traveling across the country in 1903 and 1904. In 1907, on his second attempt, the former Captain was elected to Congress, serving four terms. In 1908, before an unfriendly Democratic National Convention, Hobson commented that President Theodore Roosevelt had stated that there was a good possibility of war with Japan in the near future. Roosevelt denied the comments. With his Great White Fleet preparing to sail around the world, talk of trouble with Japan, either military or diplomatic, was not appreciated by the President. In spite of the acrimonious debate, Hobson continued predicting war with Japan until even the press tired of reporting his comments on the issue. Congressman Hobson served on the Naval Affairs Committee from 1907 to 1914, working to strengthen the fleet and warning of future clashes with European powers, Japan and Russia. He was an early supporter of Womens' Suffrage and fought for Black soldiers unjustly accused of rioting and killing a civilian in Brownsville Texas. In 1911, he introduced the first National Prohibition bill. Hobson's views, unpopular with many of his constituents, ended his political career in 1916. Later in life, Hobson continued to act against alcohol and drug abuse, serving as general secretary of the American Alcohol and Education Association, president of the International Narcotic Education Association and the World Narcotic Defense Association. He was also the organizer of the 1926 World Conference on Narcotic Education. In 1933, Hobson was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions aboard the MERRIMAC during the Spanish-American War. His crew had received the medal in 1899, but officers were not eligible for the honor at that time. In 1934, Hobson was made a Rear Admiral on the retired list and granted a pension. Richmond Pearson Hobson died of a heart attack on March 16, 1937, and was buried with honors in Arlington National Cemetery.

4	George Smith Houston 1874-1876 1876-1878 George Smith Houston was born on January 17, 1811, in Williamson County, Tennessee, the son of David and Hannah Pugh (Reagan) Houston. Natives of South Carolina, the family moved to Tennessee and in ca. 1821 moved to Lauderdale County, Alabama, where they became farmers. George was the grandson of John and Mary (Ross) Houston, who emigrated from County Tyrone, Ireland, in 1760. Houston was educated in the Lauderdale County Academy, read law in the office of Judge George Coalter in Florence, and completed his studies in Judge Boyle's law school in Harrodsburg, KY. He was admitted to the bar in 1831, was elected to the state legislature from Lauderdale County in 1832, and was appointed district solicitor by Governor Gayle in 1834. In 1837 he was elected as a solicitor and held the office until 1841. In 1841 he was elected to the US House of Representatives, a position to which he was reelected eight times, retiring for only two years in 1849. He retired again in 1861, resigning when Alabama seceded. Houston was consistently opposed to secession and ran as a Unionist candidate for Congress in 1850. He advocated and became a member of the committee of thirty-three to devise a means to save the union, but when Alabama seceded, he drafted and presented to the speaker the formal withdrawal of the Alabama delegation from the US Congress. Houston sympathized with the Confederacy and contributed to its support. Houston was elected to the US Senate in 1865, but Alabama was denied representation. Houston resumed his law practice in Athens, Alabama. In 1874, Houston defeated the radical incumbent David Lewis and became governor of the state. Houston was an immensely popular man who became known as the "Bald Eagle of the Mountains." The conservative Democrats won by a large majority during the 1874 gubernatorial election, bringing about the victory of the "White Supremacy" in Alabama. This election was known for its intimidation at the polls to discourage the Republican vote. Houston, known as the Redeemer governor of Alabama, won his office with the slogans of "White Supremacy" and "home rule." Aside from being a lawyer, Houston also had industrial interests. Before Houston became governor, he was a close associate of James W. Sloss, one of the leaders in the industrialization of north Alabama. Houston served as director of one of the affiliated lines of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. Loss, who associated with the Alabama Democratic-Conservative Party, and William D. (Pig-Iron) Kelley (Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad), who associated with the Republican Party, both vied for the mineral resources in north Alabama. Alabama was eager to fund the railroads, which brought the state to the brink of bankruptcy. Financing of the railroad systems accounted for $17,000,000 of the total estimated $25,000,000 debt incurred by the state after the Civil War. As governor, Houston advocated a policy which converted the penitentiary into a source of state revenue and urged economy in every department of state. The most important measure before the legislature during his administration was the state debt. The greatest challenge, according to Stewart, was deciding which debts were valid and which were fraudulent. A committee was appointed to investigate and adjust the debt. The debt commission consisted of Governor Houston, who served as ex-officio chairman, Tristram B. Bethea and Levi W. Lawler. The commission recommended that the state turn over to the creditors first mortgages on the railroads which gad defaulted on interest payments. New bonds were issued at a lower rate of interest to substitute for the old carpetbag bonds. The commission's report was adopted and $8,596,000 in bonds were issued by the state. (Stewart, p. 126) "Since the debt was always a potential debt and would have become an actual debt only by the state's becoming the owner of the railroads endorsed, the debt settlement' took the form of relieving the state of its potential debt and the railroads of the threat of foreclosure on mortgages held by the state." (Woodward, p. 10) Residual obligations were therefore reduced to $12,000,000. Alabama staggered under the interest payments on the old Reconstruction debt for another twenty years, resulting in the poor and slow development of such public services as education. Also during Houston's two-term administration, the Alabama Constitutional Convention of 1875 was held. The new constitution was marked by the outlawing of loans by state, county, or municipal governments to private business and by prohibiting the building of railroads by the state government. The constitution became effective in December 1875. "The four main points of the new constitution, followed assiduously by Governor Houston's administration, were economy, education, payment or abrogation of old Reconstruction debts, and a complete reversal of the practices of Reconstruction." (Stewart, p. 126) Houston was reelected governor in 1876. At the expiration of that term in 1878, he was elected to the US Senate. He served in the extra session of 1879, but did not return to Washington, DC due to ill health. He died in 1879 at his home in Athens. It was the Redeemers who laid the lasting foundations in matters of race, politics, economics, and law for the modern South. Houston's administrations reorganized the public school system and established the Alabama State Board of Health, the first public health department in the South. Cullman County was also created. Stewart states that by the end of Houston's second term, he managed to reduce taxes and bring state expenditures under control. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Authorities: Owen, Thomas M.

34	Born in Ireland in 1760 where his ancestors had fled from Scotland to escape persecution for their loyalty to Prince Charlie. The Houstons belonged to the Scotch-Irish nobility; but, having cast in their lot with the U.S. for which the youthful John had suffered wounds and imprisonment and all hardships incident to the life of a soldier for the whole period of the Revolutionary War, he and his father refused to return to assume the ancestral title. He was badly wounded in the war and taken prisoner by the Tories. He later received a land grant in Georgia for his military services. Soldier and patriot. He came to America between 1760 and 1765 - this and other history of the family was found in a book of the history of Coweta County in the Newnan Library in Newnan, Georgia. John Houston, Jr. was born April 10, 1760 in Ireland, according to his pension records.
