Two Hundred Dollars Reward.
RAN-AWAY from the subscriber on North-Santee, TWO FELLOWS,
named GEORGE and PRIMUS; they were formerly
waiting men, but have been working for some time past at the
carpenter’s trade. George is 20 years of age, 5 feet 10 inches
high, and proportionably well made; he has a good countenance,
speaks with great confidence and very good English,
is very artful and will probably obtain himself a pass; he has
worked out and is well acquainted in town, where he has a mother
and many relations, he is however too sensible to remain
long in town, and will no doubt attempt to leave the state.
Primus is a small fellow, five feet two inches high, well made,
of a black complexion, speaks with timidity and rather slowly,
would soon be detected if questioned, he is accustomed to take
care of horses, which was his employment in town the last
summer; he is also well acquainted in Charleston and Georgetown,
has worked at the Cooper’s and carpenter’s trades, and
will probably offer himself at one or the other for employment.
They absented themselves together on the 25th December last,
and it is expected that they will continue with each other. Masters of vessels and all others are cautioned against employing
or taking out of the states either of the said slaves. A
reward of One Hundred Dollars with all expences paid, will be
given for either, or the above reward of Two Hundred Dollars
for both of them, to be lodged in any gaol in the United States.
