AS I have been obliged to break up my PLANTATIONS,
I will dispose of all the LANDS I am possessed of at the Conga
rees. They consist of several trails lying on botli tides of the river,
making in the whole, according to a late re-survey, 2910 acres; 1362
are river swamp, esteemed by good judges not inferior to any on that
river, and very valuable ; about 400 of it are cleared, and under good,
fences. Upon the highland, which lies on the north fide of the river,
and is in general tolerably well timbered with pipe, are two settle
ments, and on one of them is a very comfortable dwelling-house of
three good rooms upon one floor, pleasantly situated upon a hill near
the river, which is upwards of 2.00 feet above the level of the land on
the opposite fide, and commands a very extensive profpe&. Whoever
is inclined to purchase the said lands, will be informed of the terms
by and may treat with Col. William Thomson at the Congarees,
or, at Goofecreek, with f HENRY MIDDLETON.

such Women, Children and others, as above described, should

RUN away from the fubferiber about the middle of lad
month,TWO NEGROES, named Will and Sall.—Will is a
young fellow, about 20 years of age, five feet fix inches high, black,
and Something pock-marked, is a great thief and lyar, remarkable*
lazy, and loves rum ; he carried with him a bright brown coloured
Kerfeymire ccattee, waistcoat and breeches, a drab coloured broad
cloth ditto, with old spangled buttons, a hat with a yellow band,
and the crown covered with the skin of a large bird ; as both the
suits of eloathes were made for me, they are considerably too large
for him. This being the fifth time of his having eloped from me,,
without any cause, and for which he has never received any puniffi
ment, I hope whoever apprehends him will be so good as to give him
a severe whipping. He has now enticed away with him, a young
mulatto or muftee wench named Sall, about 18 or 20 years of age,
five feet two or three inches high, flat nosed, is a remarkable lyar,
very artful, and tells a plausible tale ; she carried with her a red ne
gro cloth jacket or wrapper, a white pluih ditto, a yellow quilted pet
ticoat, and some other eloathes not known. I have had information of
the fellow having been seen in town; but as he has a number of relati
ons living upon Wadmelaw and Edifto Iflands,l have reason to believe
they will Ikulk about there.—l will give FOUR DOLLARS to any
person for delivery of each to me, or to the Keeper of the Sugar-house
in Charleftown : And in order to make an example, and to prevent,
as much as poflible, the villainous practice of harbouring runaways,
I will give a further reward of TEN GUINEAS on receiving proper
proof of them or either of them being harboured on board of any ves
sel, or by any white person on shore ; and TWO GUINEAS if by a
negro, such proof enabling me to prosecute the offender to convi&ion.
N. B. They left me on Wadmelaw Island, to which place I had
gone for the benefit of my health.,

with the Virginia or North-Carolina accent, and by teeming limply
city will be apt to gain belief, being a most artful, deigning fellow.
FIVE GUINEAS reward will be paid for apprehending and deliver

any person harbouring or employing him m Charltdown or the har
