The Press and Banner. AUIJEVILLK, S. C. Wednesday, Nov. 8,1876. Abbeville County. The vote yesterday was very large and the election in Abbeville county is claimed by both Democrats and Republicans, as will be seen by the estimates below. The box at Magnolia was not opened in consequence of the managers misplacing some of the papers connected with the holding of the election, and the colored voters of that box numbering about two hundred and fifty or three hundred came to Abbeville in an organized body and voted the Kepublicau ticket solidly, other-; wise neither party would have had much advantage at Abbeville Court j House.

Majority, in County, HHi The scales between Hampton anil Chamberlain seem to be pretty evenly balanced in the State. The lower counties will greatly reduce Hampton'.*majorities in tho upper counties. We are disposed to think the race very close with the chances about equally divided. From information received we believe the Democratic county ticket will be elected by more than one buntln*d votes. Let the election go as it will, we will raise our hat and call for three cheer* for the colored Democrats who have stuck to ussoffaithfuily despite the insinuations, the jeers, and the taunts of their less scrupulous colored neighbors. Since the election of Tilden and Hendrix the war against the South will be stopped, and the bayorule will be discontinued. The itepublieans concede the loss of the Solicitor of the circuit, ami admit the election of their Congressman to be doubtful. Tilden Ejected.

( little resorted to. There are many! families?even in book-loving New England there are scores of families,! we daresay, where a book, or a chap-J terof a book, is never read aloud lo the family circle from one end of the year I to another. The individual members of the family read; but alf reading done in the family is silent reading. Father has his paper; mother her tract; Mary her novel; Johnny his story of wild adventure. Heading there is, enough of it: but each one reads for himself. There is no reading for the whole, and no grouping of the family into an audience for an evening's enjoyment, such as conns to! people who hear a good bit of writing! well read. Only those who have visited in families where the gift of reading was cultivated as a source of family enjoy ment, and the custom of reading aloud to the family practised, can imagine what a help and blessing to the family j il'e such a habit is. Music is Weill enough in its way, but its langeof ex presslon is iar iiamuvur muu nuu reading, nud for that matter less practical in its adaptation to the family wants. Then, too, singing requires an j instrumental accompaniment, ami a! piano costs money and requires too I much practice on the part of the per-1 former to be available for the many. 'J bt* art of reading well is easily ac- j <1 Hired and cheaply taught, and the expressions of literature are abundant! and varied. If sorrow has fallen on j the family, the needed antidote can be j found both in prose and poetry.

Thousands of cotton gins are needlessly injured, if not entirely ruined, by one simple cause. That cause is |iermitting moat or lint cot ton (that is, cotton that has been once giuned,) to be mixed .with seed cotton and passed through the saws the second time. Snrli lint cotton catches in the teeth, clogs die saws, dull the teeth, aud bends or breaks them. It also bends or breaks the ribs, wears the boxes, and strains the whole gin so as to make u product- a had sample, and speedily become almost worthless, ft likewise increases the draft so as to distress the muii'spropelling the gin, ai d creates mi much friction ?s often to set the gin house on fire. Thus can be explained :he burning of many a gin home by ihe supposed spontaneous combustion of cotton. Hence every owner of a gin house should be very careful about where his moat cotton is placed, also about permitting the "flyings" or "hangings" to fall on his seed cotton. Above all should he be particular in preventing the ginner, or his assistant, when returning from the lint room after "packing the cotton back," as it, id called, from having any lint on his clothing. The usual assistant at a gin to hand seed cotton aud "pack back" lint isa playful urchin, who delights first to wallow in the lint room and then, without divesting himself of the lint adhering to his clothes, next to roll on the seed cotton. Uftenumes every bov, black and white, on a large plantation, after a general frolic in the lint room, will immediately emerge therefrom and continue their wrestling, rolling and romping over the cottou, with half a pound of lint sticking to each one's ragged or woollen apparel. Such play is of course delightful to the boys, but iUis dear sport to | the owners of the gin, In many ginj houses, too, while packing cotton for market, much liut is mixed with the seed cotton, either by carelessness or by the wind. A giu is a cosily machine, but it is not a delicate one or easily put out of order if previously ginned liut is kept nut of the saws. In fact, a good gin, rightly managed, should?with but little sharpening and small repairs?pick fifty bales'of lint per year, and last a planter of average longevity his lifetime ; whereas most gins become useless, or nearly so, in perhaps five years from the single cause I have indicated. No child ever ought to be allowed to [ alitor a lint room where it can well be! prevented.?NoriU Carolina Farmer, j An Illinois farmer says : "My cattle will follow me until I leave the lot, union the way up to the barnyard in the evening, stop and call for a lock of liay." Brown says there is nothing at nil*remarkable about that. He went intoa barn-yard in the country one day ast week, where he had not the slightest acquaintance with the cattle, and in old"bull not only followed him until he* left the lot, but took the gate off the lunges, and raced with him (o the iiouse in the most familiar way po*sijle. Brown savs he has no doubt that , [he old fellow would have called for something if lie had waited a little ivhile, but he didn't want the folks waiting for dinner, so he hung one ( tail of his coat and a piece of his pants >u the bull's horns and went into the house. A Montana squatter built a small frame shanty on another man's laud, ind when he was requested to mov< t! positively declined to do so. Oin* night a small company of settles slathered around his cabin v,hile I e1 ind his wife were asleep, and llftii g the whole concern, occupants and I shanty, with great deliberate n and; fare, carried it to the river and set it tu ti small raft.

So confident was the New "iork Tribune of a Radical tidal wave in October, that it fairly bubbled over with sarcasticllings and pungent utterances at the expense of the Democracy. Since the defeat it has ceased to smile and the comic editor has either been killed or put into a lunatic asylum. IX MEMORIAL. Dr. Job* A. Stuart. Affectionately rlaNcntrd to hi* bereaved family.

We learn from the Secretary and Treasurer of the Spartanburg and Ashville. Hail road Company that the President has recently purchased, on the most advantageous terms, iron, fastenings, &v., sufficient to complete about fourteen miles of track. This lot of iron has been bought and paid for without any lien or encumbrance upon the road. Upou the arrival at Spartanburg, which is expected daily, the work of track-laying will commence and be pushed forward with despatch. Additional iron will be forthcoming as it is needed, and we have good reason to believe that, by mid-summer, the Iron Horse will carry to the denizens of the mountains, the loug-looked for trains on their errauds of commerce and pleasure.? Spartanburg Reporter. The People Waut Proof.' There is uo medicine proserioeu ov physicians, or sold by Druggists, that carries such evidence ol its success and superior viri.no as Doschee's German Syrup for severe Coughs, Colds settled on the Breast, Consumption, orany disease of the' Throat and Luugs. A proof of that fact is that any person afflicted, can get a Sample Bottlefor 10 cents and try its superior ell'ect before buying the regular size at 75 Cents. It has lately been introduced in this country from Germany, and its wonderful cures are astonishing every one that use it. Three doses will relieve any case, Try it. Sold by W. T.
