Registration
For Election.
Very Slight

Registration for the general cleo
ton of November was extremely
light on Saturday, first day the books
were opened, according to reports
that have been received. One precinct
reported only three names put on the
books, and others reported none at
all.
The books will be open for two
weeks more, daily, and registrars will
be at the polling places on next Sat-
urday and the Saturday following for
the convenience of those who wish to
register.
The fact that there is no Republican
county ticket in the field Fin Vance
county, and the further fact that the
real election contest in this county is
always in the summer primaries, is
believed to account for the slight in
terest being shown at this time. But
it is expected there will be other
names added between now and the
closing date.

praph and telephone communications
Friday and Saturday between Cher
of Police j. H. Langston, of Hender'
son. Although descriptions of dental
work were forwarded to Hagerstowa,
information received here is not satls-
factory, and the three men decided
the surest way to settle the question
was to make the trip, view the BODY
and do investigation of their own IN
the light of their familiarity anc
knowledge about the situation. They
expected to reach Hagerstown by late
afternoon and Immediately hold con"
ference with officials there.
Messages nom Chief McCleary last
week said the body was found on the
surface of the ground near a railroad
yard % miles west of Hagerstown anc
near Martinburg, w. Va. 1t was later
buried. Requests was made here for
information about McCoin's dental
work and this was furnished. Dr..
Tomin, coroner at Martinsburg, found
four jaw teeth in the body, but it was
said by local dental experts that the
others could have dropped out of the
sockets.
The coroner reported the body had
apparently been exposed for several
years, and the bones indicated it to
be that of a man about go years Old.
which was exactly the age of McCein
when he suddenly dropped out of sight
three days before Christmas, 1882.
Mr.. Wester Sunday afternoon tele-
graphed Chief McCleary at Hagers-
town to have the body exhumed by
the time the local people arrived
there late today. They took with
them additional information about
McCoin's dental work, including an
X-ray picture from the files of DR.. I.
II. Hoyle, who was the missing mans
dentist here.
Chief McCleary, in a telephone con-
versation with Mr.. Wester Sunday
night, said the body was found on the
surface of the ground, and nearby
were the fragments of blue sweater
and blue pair of trousers No cloth
ing was on the body, nor were any
rings or other jewelry found nearby.
McCoin wore dark blue suit when he
left here. The body was stumbled
upon accidentally, the information
said. Some parts of the skeleton were
missing.
The only clue ever to turn up as to
McCoin's whereabouts was a letter
mailed from Chicago purportedly from
one of three men who said they had
held him up on the main highway BE-
tween Petersburg and Richmond
