Run away from the subscriber, a Negro Man named Joe, a bricklayer by trade; he is a well made fellow, and very artful, has attempted to pass for a free man, and thereby endeavoured to get out of this State. All masters of vessels are hereby cautioned not to carry him off, and any person harbouring or concealing him, will be prosecuted with the utmost rigour of the law. Whoever will deliver him to the Warden of the Work-house in Charleston or to the subscriber at the Four Holes, shall receive Ten Pounds reward, and all reasonable charges. THOMAS YOUNG.
