THE BANK RECEIVER HERE. Commenced Work at Once---A Difficult Work--A Good Man in Charge. Mr. W.A. Dunn of Scotland Neck arrived Monday night. As before stated Mr. Dunn was appointed by Judge Whitaker receiver to wind up the affair of the Old Clinton Joan Association (joint stock company) and the new bank, known as Olinton Loan Association, which were decided as insolvent before the Superior court in Wake county, on Dec. 22nd. THE CAUCASIAN has given every possible item of information about our bank tr: uble, and has used every diligent mean in informing its readers of its affairs, and shall continue to do so. We called on Mr. Dunn and found him hard at work in the old bank office. Of course he could givo no intelligent statements in so short a time but we found him very willing to make any statements he thought would be of any interest or information to the people. He seems very much in earnest and will begin work at once and use every possible means to make a prompt and just statement. And we feel safe in predicting a very satisfactory settling up of the bank, and we think it very fortunate for all concerned that Mr. Dunn accepted the receivership. HIS DUTIES. It may be of some information to give some of the duties of the receiver and how payments are made. A receiver of a bank is like an administrator of an estate He collect all claims and disposes of its property and then report to the court how much he has on hand, and then by order of the court pay it out e pro rata. It is not necessary to get S judgment to hasten payment, for one S claims can not be paid before another, S but equal payment to all. It is Mr. Dunn's duty to collect all 11 claims, notes &c., held by the bank. We believe he will deal as liberally as possible with all, but they have to be collected. Now let all realize this and try and pass this trouble off as lightly and e quietly as possible.

BANK STOCKHOLDERS HOLD A MEETING Trying to Stop Lawsuits and Settle the Tronble. The stockholders of the Clinton Loan Association held a meeting in Olinton Tuesday. A majority of the stock was present or represented. A resolution was passed to the ffect that each stockholder should guarantee to become responsible for the indebtedness of the bank to the amount of the stock held by each in addition to the stock held This will probably guarantee an amount sufficient to cover all indebtedness we are told. If this is so, it will make all lawsuits started unnecessary and put the business in such a shape that receiver Dunn can proceed to wind up the business satisfactorily. A committee composed of Mess's. H. E Faison, T. M. Lee, Abram Hobbs and J. L Stewart, was appointed to see stockholders not present and urge them to agree to the same policy. This committee will a'so represent the s'ockholders in an executive capacity till the next meeting of the stockholders, which will be on July 7th. A committee was also appointed to wait on Mr. A. F. Johnson and to offer a compromise settlement with him of the amount that it has been claimed that he owed. The stockholders have shown a proper spirit. Now would it not be well for the depositors to meet them part of the way with some equitable compromise? We think if the stockholders and depositors can have an understanding this whole very troublesome and complicated matter might soon be settled without long delay and heavy cost in lawsuits.
