HOW THE GREAT WAR STARTED.! Assassination of Archduke of Austria Primary Cause. The assassin of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife fired a shot heard round the world. His deed, the culmination of antiAustrian plots for which Servia has been a constant hotbed and itself involving so many accessories before i and after the fact as to bear a rep- j resentative national character, natu-! rally aroused the utmost indignation 1 in Austria-Hungary. The latter country felt that Servian intrigue, on the plan of the anarchist secret society and extending into the high- j est circles of rulers who themselves held power by assassination, naa Decome intolerable. Austria deter-1 mined to abate the nuisance next door at any hazard. She must have known well that the hazard was great. Servia had the biggest broth- j er.from a military standpoint, in the world. But, just as even a small boy cannot be permitted unlimited misconduct through consideration for; his smallness, so the small boy with the biggest brother cannot always be granted immunity because of his protector. Austria went summarily ahead. No doubt, she did not give prudential motives enough thought.1 She was hazarding her ally, whom \ she apparently took by surprise or ran away with, more than herself. That ally.however privately perturbed by her course, was loyal. Germany told other nations that she could not take any action which would amount to coercion of Austria. She would earnestly second counsels for moderation and pacification, but she could join no diplomatic alignment that would place her on the opposite side from her ally. It looked as though Austria * - * it. _ 5? n were headstrong unaer me mnuenue of her acute grievances and as though Servia were presuming upon Russia's support no less than Austria was presuming upon Germany's. But the time has come when we can say that neither Austria nor Servia, nor the two of them, made the great war now under way. Europe has adjusted difficulties quite as serious many a time before, and the diplomatic resources of the next friends of these belligerents were fully adequate to the task. There was due to be a little blood-letting on the Austro-Servian border and nothing more. Russia made the big war. She began taking no ordinary precautions but acting as thougn war had become or were about to become an accomplished fact. Her diplomacy showed itself utterly indifferent. In vain the German Emperor moved the heavens and earth in efforts for peace, finally sending the Czar's brother-in-law on the heels of personal telegrams to St Petersburg after Russia's diplomatic representatives had turned only deaf ears. The fact was, the Czar and his advisers had seen a welcome opportunity for a war wherein they had much to gain and?since they would not rate the lives of their soldiers high?comparatively little to lose. This, they evidently believed, was a most favorable juncture for the war whose waging century-long national ambition had dictated. It was especially attractive under its particular circumstances as a means of ex ploiting Russian national and Slavic racial feeling in the interest of the Czar and his Government. So Russia forced hostilities,dragging in France as her ally and inviting England to jump on Germany when the latter should be more than fully engaged. The Servian assassin started the whole train of circumstances leading to the great war, but this was possible in the last resort only because Russia willed it so.?Charlotte Ob. server. CANDIDATE FOR LYNCHING. Florence Negro Accased oi Criminal Assault on White Woman. Tom Grice, a negro, was arrested Friday night by the Police Department charged with assault upon the person of a white woman living on the outskirts of the city. As a measure of precaution Chief H M Brunson sent the negro to the penitentiary this morning for safe keeping. Griee confessed to having entered the house. He maintains that he intended robbery only and that he is innocent of any other crime. The woman claims that the negro made a criminal assault upon her and accomplished his purpose. She nas identified Grice as being the right man. It seems that at one o'clock Monday morning, the woman awoke to find the negro in her room, accord1 ' f/\ fUa r\/\li{ ing to ner statement tu me puiivi. j After his attack upon her she ran 1 screaming to the back of the house and called a boarder who was sleeping in the house. In the meantime Grice had made his escape. The woman's husband was not in the city, having gone away on a business trip the night before. Two little children were asleep in the same room with the woman. The I police station was notified at once and Sergeant J E Brunson respond-: i WHY WEAK LUNGS? The toll of tuberculosis is claiming more than 350 victims every day in the United States, yet few realize their grave condition until the critical period arrives. Overwork, worry, weakness after sickness, catarrh, bronchitis, tender throats? all exert the weakening influence that invites consumption. To guard against consumption, thousands of people take Scott'sEmulsionafter meals because its rich medicinal nourishment strengthens the lungs, puts vigor in the blood, and upbuilds strength to resist tuberculosis. Scott's Emulsion is nature's strength-builder. Refuse substitutes. ed. After learning the grave nature of the case he called the Chief of Police, H M Brunson, who at once went to the scene. No clue could be obtained except the man's description, but with this to start on the department went to work.

The woman is said to be in a highly nervous condition after her fearful experience. Grice escaped from the city chaingang last March.
