The Lecturer has been secured at an
immense expense to the State. The sub
iect of his Lecture is Religion, which for
many years he has made his study, and,
in order to become q master of his sub
iect. he has devoted the entire COntin-
gent Fund to this purpose. He is a liv-
ing example of what Religion can do for
humanity when properly understood.
He will show how little faith can be
placed in the doctrines of the Church
Fathers that to have Religion one must
necessarily possess Morality, Chastity,
Truth. Honesty, Good Faith, Reverence
and Filial Love Ito say nothing of
Nirtuc) He will show in his own per-
son that one can, in his opinion, be Re-
ligious, from q Christian standpoint,
without possessing any of the aforesaid
imaginary qualities He will show that
without them one can rise to the highest
position in tls State. During the Lee
ture he will produce Neaglc as an ex-
ample of man without Religion, pos
scSsed. of the Devil. In order to
illustrate his subject thoroughly, he will
show to the audience a tablet upon which
is engraved pay certificate signed by
the original Moses for current expenses
incurred in drowning Pharaoh; stone
from Mt. Sinai telling the price of an
Office in that land 5000 years ago; q vase
found in the garden of the Republican
Printing Company, containing 100000;
also several duplicate copies of the Col
Teton Gazette, taken from the corner
stone of the Preston Mansion.
On this occasion the Lecturer will be
dressed in full uniform, manufactured by
Cowdilly from the original flag, hauled
down at Sumter. He will also wear the
sword with which he cut himself loose
from Truth and Virtue ever since in
fancy.
The Music for the occasion will be fur
nishcd by the $1,000 Certificate Post
Band, which will play, by request, some
of the airs performed at the Guberna-
torial Mansion during the summer, with
| selections also from "a hundred thOuS-
and more"
A Quartette from the Penitentiary will
be present and sing at the close of the

Parker's Haul" as Columbians we'll
know, was purchased about 20 years ago
by the State and was used for eight or
ten years by the department of agricul-
ture, the first floor being occupied by an
exhibit of the States mineral and forest
productions. On the abolition of the
department it remained vacant until it
came to be used as State dispensary,
and this use continued until Governor
Tillman gave up the building to Mr.. E. B.
Wesley, for whom it was purchased III
part with Blue Ridge scrip. 1t fell as a
fee to 41r. William H. Lyles, the shrewd
and active attorney of Mr.. " esley, and has
now been converted into the Albemarle
hotel, the first floor, formerly notorious
as Fines saloon, or "the Third House"
of the days of good stealing, being occu-
pied by wholesale fuit establishment.
Many have been the changes in the
last quarter of century, but the tiuc-
tuatons of fortune have been nowhere
better illustrated during that period than
in the history of Parkers "Haul."-The
State.
