 The following communication comes from Selma and tells us how easy 6 matter 1t would be for us to be cattle free in Bir- mingham. I must say that am confident our police force would gladly do their part in the good work, just as they are always striving to do in the protection of our city. A lack of protection is not due to the quality of our policemen, but the quantity, fact they are in wise responsible for:
 "SELMA, Oct. 25.-1n your letter in the AGE HERALD of this date, in speaking of the cattle, etc., roaming the Highlands, you wonder how Selma, where we have 80 many beautiful flowers and trees. got relief from the cattle. This is how: The city passed an ordinance prohibiting cattle from running at large on the streets. We have what is called the 'city pound, vacant lot fenced in where all cattle that are found roaming the streets are driven, and you cannot get one out unless you pay into the city treasury the sum of $2.50. We don't have many get in, but when they do they are gotten out mighty quick. When COW does not report at home the owner at once sends to the pound, and after paying 2.50 once he sees that she is kept at home in the future. Another thing, when police officer finds cattle on the streets he is forced by our cattle law to arrest said cattle at once and drive them himself to the pound. Now, in big city like Blr- mingham, don't suppose you could get one of your policemen 10 do so undignified thing as to drive a COW through the streets, but ours have to do it, and if they don't they are fired aud some one else IS put on the force who has not quite so much dignity. Have city law passed, get va cant lot (you have many) call 1t the city pound, make your police officers run cattle in when found on the streets, make the fine S2.50 and you won't suffer long from cattle. We do 1t and you never find one on our streets. SELMA"
 This is good advice and is very clearly put. As said before, there will be no trouble with our police-I am sure we can depend upon their doing their duty. We have cattle ordinance; now the only ques- tion is, cannot 1t be enforced? Perhaps the fines would largely aug ment our empty city treasury and we could meet our in debtedness with case. Judging from the COWS, etc., at large we might become so opulent we would have no further need of the Birmingham amendment
