TO BE HONORARY DIRECTOR.
MT. Brandt 10 Continue in The Service
Of The TeIfaiT Academy.

The Managers VIII Recommend That
He Be Made Consulting Director Of
the Academy for the Next Year, TO
Which He Is Agreeable - Two New
Curators to Be Elected at Tomorrow
Nights Meeting Of the Historical
Society.
II is probable that the Georgia Histor-
icalical Society will have an interesting
meeting tomorrow night. Two vacancies
on the board OF curators are to be nlled
and important matters relating to the
Telfair Academy Of Arts and Sciences
viii be discussed and probably some ac-
ton with regard 20 them will be taken.
The board Of managers. as IS customary,
held a meeting. previous to the regular
meeting Of the society. and has certain
recommendations ready with regard to
these matters, which it is understood will
be made at this meeting. 1t is said that
at the managers meeting they decided
to recommend to the society that c. L.
Brandt be retained as a sort OF honorary
director Of the Telfair Academy for the
next year without salary.
Some time ago when the subject of the
academy's Indebtedness was discussed,
and in this connection the matter Of the
dictatorship. the committee which had
special charge Of the academy entered
into a correspondence with Mr.. Brandt, to
ascertain his views and feeling with re-
gard to the matter. The correspondence

going recommendation. this being agree
able to Mr. Brandt He will probably be
given the six months notice that he
asked, and TO which he held he was enti-
tied in his agreement with the society, at
least it is understood this will be a part
Of the recommendation of the committee.
The managers also decided to recommend
that the proposals made some two years
ago with regard to the payment of the
sOciety's Indebtedness to Gen. Henry r.
Jackson be carried into effect. This is to
be paid from the income of the academy
from the Telfair fund, after the necessary
expenses Of the academy have been de-
Quoted. The Indebtedness amounts TO some
thing like $25, 600 and the society's income.
when the dividends on its Augusta and
Savannah railroad stock are paid regu-
larly, is from that source 5000 per annum.
The dividends have been paid up TO date.
though they have several times come in
a little behind hand.
The two vacancies to be filled on the
board of curators are those left by Judge
William y. Harden, when he was elected
vice president, and Col. William Garrard,
when he resigned. II is probable that the
society viii elect curators to fiji them to-
morrow night, but no suggestions have
been made yet as to who the new curators
may be. Some of the members whose
service in behalf of the society have in
creased the interest in it, as well as its
membership, have been spoken of in this
connection.
An added interest has been taken in the
society of late. New books are being pur-
chased every month, and the library COM
mittee is endeavoring to keep well up with
all the new literature that is of interest to
the general reader. The meeting to-mor-
row night will probably be one of the most
interesting the society has had in some
months, and it will no doubt be well at
tended.
