30 (50) Dollars Reward.
RANAWAY last May, a Negro Man named TOM, 5 feet 8 or
10 inches high, and stutters when he speaks ; has an old scar
over one of his eyes ; a little knock-kneed, and has small legs.
I am informed that he was endeavouring to make his escape
back to North-Carolina, from whence he came. Whoever will
deliver said Tom to the Master of the Work-House in Charleston,
or to the subscriber, on Edisto-Island, shall receive the
above reward (, and all reasonable expences will be paid). All
persons are hereby cautioned against harbouring the said Negro,
and Masters of vessels from taking him off the state, as
they will be prosecuted according to law.
