of the original copies of now rare
and precious handbill, historic in
South Carolina, the irony of which.
will be appreciated by South Caro-
liuians of this generation as it was
by those of the last. We believe
the bill was the production of "Tim"
Hurley, the eminent Radical poll
tician whose name locally survives
in Hurleyville:
Parker's "Haul."
Thursday Evening, February s, 1874,
Lecture
Religion
by
Hon. Il. J. Moses, Jr.,
Author of
Moses Notes, Moses on Virtue, ETC.,
etc.
Ex-Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives, and now, through the
Unaccountable Mercy of Divine
Providence, Exercising the Duties
of Governor of South Carolina.
The Lecturer has been secured at
an immense expense to the State.
The subject Of his Lecture is Re-
ligion, which for many years he has
made his study, and, in order to
become master of his subject, he
has devoted the entire Contingent
Fund to this purpose. He is liv-
ing example of what Religion can
do for humanity when properly
understood. lie will show how
little faith can be placed in the doc
trnes Of the Church Fathers; that to
have Religion one must necessarily
possess Morality, Chastity, Truth,
Honesty, Good Faith, Reverence
and Filial Love to say nothing of
Virtue.) He will show in his own
person that one can, in his opinion,
be Religious, from Christian stand
point, without possessing any of the
aforesaid imaginary qualities. He
will show that without them one can
rise to the highest position in the
State. During the lecture he will
produce Neagle as an example of a
man without Religion, possessed of
the Devil. In order to illustrate his
subject thoroughly, he will show to
the audience tablet upon which is
engraved pay certificate signed by
the original Moses for current ex-
penses incurred in drowning Pha-
raoh ; stone from Mt. Sinai telling
the price of an Office in that land
5000 years ago; vase found in the
garden of the Republican Printing
Company, containing $4,000; also
several duplicate copies Of the Cole
ton Gazette, taken from the corner
stone of the Preston Mansion.
On this occasion the Lecturer will
be dressed in full uniform, manufac-
tured by Cowdilly from the original
flag, hauled down at Sumter. lie
will also wear the sword with which
he cut himself loose from Truth and
Virtue ever since infancy.
The music for the occasion will be
furnished by the $1,000 Certificate
Post Band, which will play, by
request, some of the airs performed
at the Gubcrnatorial Mansion during
the summer, with selections also
from ga hundred thousand more"
a Quartette from the Pcniten-
tiary will be present and sing at the
close of the Lecture
"Rcturn ye Ransomcd Sinners,
Home"
The Cashier Of one Of our Banks
has kindly consented to preside at
the organ.
Price of admission, IS cents.
Unpaid notes of the Lecturer will
be taken at their market value.
County Treasurcrs are invited to

Parker's "IIaul," as Columbians
well know, was purchased about 20
years ago by the State and was used
for eight or ten years by the Depart
mcnt of Agriculture, the first floor
being occupied by an exhibit Of the
States mineral and forest produc-
tions. On the abolition of the
department it remained vacant until
it came to be used as State dispcn-
sary, and this use continued until
