Alabama men are telling many
stories illustrstin z the popularity,
grit and deter mination of the
family OF Lieut.. Hobson, the hero
of the daring fe at Of sinking the
Merrimac in the entrance to
Santiago harboir. This remarkable
family lives iu the little town of
Greensboro. Lieut.. Hobson has a
brother at We ST Point and another
practicing law. His lawyer brother
earned a repu tation by the way in
IN which he argued the first case he
had before The Alabama Supreme
Court. it was an appeal from a
lower court, and the following was
his opening speech Your
honors, this case has been decided
by you already seven times and
each time it has been decided
wrong" lie lost his case, Of course.
but he got advertised all over his
state. The whole family seems to
make a speciality Of upsetting pre-
cedent and doing things in their
own way. Lieut. Hobsou and bis
companions will all be promoted
as soon rs they are at liberty, and
Congress will give them all medals
Of honor.

that the army reorganization law,

sation with reporter for The Re
public recently, made the following
Interesting statement regarding the
spelling of the word "Moro -:
"The word Moro has come
into daily use. Nearly all the
newspapers persist in spelling 1t
with two RS, which is incorrect.
The word Moro in Spanish
means Moor. When the Moors in.
vaded Spain in the Eighth Century
and conquered the inhabitants of
the lberlnn peninsula, they con-
structed immense fortlfcltions and
castles. surrnounted with round
towers. When the SpAniards be-
gan to monopoize America in the
Fifteenth Century they erected
Qualifications IN all the principal
ports and harbofs, to which they
gave the name Of 'CastIllas del
Moro (Moorish Caslles). Moro
Castle at Havana is the best known
Of these, but there Is a Castillo del
Moro in other Cuban and in Porto
Rican ports. Moro conveys to The
Spanish mind the relative idea Of
strength and impregna5ility that
we are in the habit Of assocating
with Gibraltar, which, by the way,
IS also name Of Moorish origin,
meaning the rock Of strength. -
