- The Times on Monday, January 8th, 1810, discusses the sale of numerous properties, help wanted for a female cook, an overseer and a wet nurse, and regimental orders from Captain Stephen Lee. The front page of the newspaper includes an advertisement for a ten dollar reward for the runaway enslaved man named Dick. The advertisement by Rhodes and Otis states that Dick is owned by Isaac Jenkins of Hilton Head "having on a pair of handcuffs" and that "all persons are cautioned against harboring said negro, as the law will be rigidly endorsed on any one detected in so doing." Also advertised are "130 country born Negroes" and a plantation belonging to the late Joseph Fuller. The posting states that all the enslaved persons are "to be sold in families." The remainder of the newspaper includes medicine advertisements, the Charleston Theatre, a one hundred dollar reward for six deserters from Fort Johnson, an obituary for Elias Ball, "Marine intelligence," hiring advertisements for an overseer and a "strong negro girl" for washing, and a five dollar reward for the runaway enslaved man named Ben. The newspaper also includes "Sales By Auction" which advertises the auction of a "likely country born negro girl, about 18 years old" identified as a "likely African Girl," an advertisement titled "Sundry Negroes" owned by Thomas Pruly, and "house servants" and "farm negroes" on Charleston Neck.
