C., Sept. 26.— Colonel James McCutcheu died very suddenly at his home at lu- diantown, this county, last night.

His family connec tions are largi and among the best people of the State. Colonel McCutchen was a mem ber of the State Fair Association, and always worked for the up building of that eociety.

Field Min strel troupe would pass through Florence last night en route to Wilmington. On Thareday night the troupe gave a perform ance in Atlanta, were coming di rectly from that point, and would have spent last night in FI Our board of health deemed it wise to be discreet, and the cars— their own pars—iu which the mem bers of the troupe were traveling were ordered stopped before reach ing Florence. This morning the troupe was allowed to go through toward Wil mington. While upon this subject, it is well to etate that Mr. H. H. Hus bands, the city health officer, will furuish health certificates free of charge upou application from those who may desire to leave town. We thiuk it would be wise for travel lers to take advantage of this as, after leaving towu, there may be trouble iu getting back. Such certificates are required at Charles ton and Wilmington, and while ifc is not necessarily incumbent upon people going out from Florence to get them, yet it would be wisdom on their part to do eo.
