Sixty Dollars Reward.
ELOPED in the course of last night or this morning, from Bellevue
Plantation, on South Santee, three NEGROES, the property
of the subscriber, viz. – SANDY, a cook, about 20 years
of age, rather short stoutly made, having a round, smooth face.
SIMON, a gardner, supposed about 52 years old, marked excessively
by small pox, of a sullen countenance and manner;
has one hand maimed from the cut of a sabre, received in a
fray many years ago. SEPTEMBER, a bold [inc] negro, supposed
about 24 years old, rather above middle stature, very
active and daring. These three were in confinement, and about
to be removed to Georgetown gaol, on strongly founded suspicion
of a capital offence. Twenty Dollars and all reasonable
expences will be paid for each of the abovementioned Negroes
secured in the nearest gaol to where they may be apprehended;
immediately notice of which apprehension, to be addressed to
the subscriber in Charleston. The keepers of Ferries are particularly
requested to be on the watch to stop said Negroes or any of them.
N. B. Simon writes; he or either of said Negroes may therefore
probably present a pass.
