306
GEORGIAS PUBLIC MEN.
pine Islands for the Constitution, aecompanying the Congressional party which made a tour of investigation into eonditions there. This involved a trip around the world, and his letters to the Constitution deseriptive of places and conditions in the regions visited made him a wide reputation in this field into which he had not previously ventured.
In 1899 Mr. Ohl was married to Miss Maude Annulet Andrews, daughter of Dr. Henry F. Andrews, of Washington, Wilkes eounty, Georgia, and there has been born to them one child-Joan Kingsley Oh !.

COL. S. W. SMALL.
T HERE is no member of the military staff of Governor Terrell who is half so well known to the people of the State of Georgia and the country in general as Lieutenant-Colonel Samuel White Small, journalist and lecturer, cler- gyman and soldier, who has been distinguished in many fields of ae- tivity for more than a seore of years, and who is equally at home in the pulpit or editorial sanetum or on the platform or tented field.
Tennessee claims Mr. Small as her son, for the versatile subject of this sketch was born in Knoxville, in the Volunteer State, July 3, 1851. His father was Alexander B. Small, who served in the Mexican war with the Fifth Tennessee Infantry, and during the Civil War was Colonel on the personal staff of Jefferson Davis,
307
GEORGIA'S PUBLIC MEN.
President of the Confederate States of America. His mother was, before her marriage, Miss Eliza White, whose grandfather, Caleb White, was a soldier of the Revolution, and her father, Samuel White, served in the Cherokee war of 1836. Coming from a family with such strong military proclivities, it is no wonder that Mr. Small has always had a fondness for things military and that during his life the cassock has alternated with the uniform and the pen with the sword.
At Greenville, Tenn., February 22, 1873, Mr. Small was married to Miss Annie Isabelle Arnold, daughter of Gen. Thomas D. Arnold and sister of Messrs. Reuben and Frank A. Arnold, of Atlanta. To them have been born three children-Loretta, Sam W., Jr., and Robert Toombs Small. Mr. Small's residence is in Atlanta, where he is connected with the Atlanta Constitution in an editorial capacity.
Mr. Small began his carcer as private secretary to ex-President Andrew Johnson, in which capacity he remained during the years 1872-3. In 1874-5 he was Assistant Immigration Commissioner of Texas. From 1876 to 1886 he was official reporter of the Atlanta circuit, and during that time also acted as assistant secretary of the American Commissioners to the Paris Exposition in 1878, as official reporter of the Constitutional Convention of Georgia in 1877, and as official reporter for various committees of the United States Senate under Senator B. H. Hill. In the course of his experiences during these years Mr. Small was thrown into close contact with many of the nation's most eminent men, and his writings in a reminiscential vein possess great his- torical value.
Mr. Small is one of the leading journalists of the South, and has also dis- played from time to time splendid ability as evangelist, lecturer and littera- teur. In each sphere he has won reputation and is a worthy ornament to either.
In 1898 he was appointed Captain and Chaplain of the Third United States Volunteer Engineers and served nearly two years in that capacity. While in Cuba with the engineers he was also Superintendent of Public Instruction in the provinces of Santa Clara and Matanzas.
