Fifty Dollars Reward.
RANAWAY from the subscriber on the 3d Dec.[December] last, on the road near Columbia, S.C. two Negro Men, viz : JIM and EPHRAIM.--Jim is about 24 years of age, light complexion, nearly six feet high, had on when he went away, a Jacket and Trousers of drab coloured lion skin, and an old fur hat.--Jim can write very well, and it is likely he will forge passes for Ephraim and himself-- Ephraim is about twenty one years of age, stout built, very black, had on when he went away, a pair of drab coloured lion-skin Trousers, a drab homespun jacket, lined with red flannel, and a new white wool hat. --Said negroes were raised in Craven County, where they may aim for--or possibly, they may try to get to a non-slave holding state, as they once attempted it.
The above Reward will be given to any person who will secure them in any Jail so that I get them, or $30 for Jim and $20 for Ephraim. --Should any person kill either or both said Negroes in attempting to take them, they will not be held liable for damages.
ABNER PEARCE.
