DEPOSITORS MAY LOSE NOTHING. And Some Valuable Property May Pass into White People's Hands. (Special to News and Observer.) Kinston, N. C., Oct. 24.-In the matter of the Dime Savings Bank suspension, it now appears that the assets and liabilities are about even, and although it is probable that depositors will be paid in full it will take all of Dunn's property to settle up the business. The principal assets consist of two or three brick stores and a negro hotel, recently erected. This is a good structure of brick in the centre of what was once the best business block in town. The settlement of the business may turn this property again into the hands of white people and thereby increase the value of the whole block. The Neuse Baptist Association adjourned last night sine die. It has been a successful meeting in every way. Most of the delegates returned to their homes this morning. The Fair train left this morning with a large crowd for Raleigh.

Death of Little Arthur Jones. (Special to News and Observer.) Kinston, N. C., Oct. 26.-Report reached here last night of the death of little Arthur Jones, the eleven year old son of Postmaster W. A. Jones, of Pink Hill, who was shot from ambush last Tuesday night. The report comes by telephone and is doubtless true. About a dozen shot of BB size penetrated the little fellow's right leg, hand and thigh. One shot entered the stomach. No one seems to be able to form any idea as to who did the shooting or to assign any cause for the dastardly act. Mr. Jones, the father, who was in the buggy with the boy when he was shot re. ceived three of the shot on his right hip, but they were flattened against a paper covered memorandum book, and did not enter the flesh. They came with such force, however as to badly bruise the hip and thigh. The county commissioners have offered $100 reward for the arrest and evidence to convict the person or persons who did the shooting. State Bank Examiner W. B. Shaw made examination of the Kinston Banks yesterday. He found the recently suspended Dime Bank to have had $4,800 on deposit. All of the depositors are negroes. The showing of the Bank of Kinston was a most excellent one. Mr. Robert L. Elliott. of Greene county, and Mrs. Clemmie Hill, of the same county came to Kinston yesterday and were married by Rev. W. R. Davis, the Baptist preacher from Snow Hill. who was here attending the Neuse Baptist Association.
