actually NaCl can disolve in acetone.
its solubility is 0.000042g NaCl / 100 g of solvent at 25°C
for more information check the wikipedia encyclopedia under NaCl

NaCl does not dissolve in acetone (propanone), because NaCl is an ionic compound, and acetone dodesn't associate well enough with ions to dissolve an ionic compound. Acetone is miscible with water, however. If your acetone got contaminated with enough water, you could dissolve enough NaCl to conduct a current.
