I'm assuming you mean the double-sided spear? The double sided spear symbolizes good and eveil, one side of the stick being Ralph, the other being Jack. Also, when Samneric first tell Ralph about the double sided spear, its kind of a revelation for him. When Jack's tribe killed the sow, they used a double sided spear, one to stick in the ground, one to stick the pigs head on top. When Samneric tell Ralph that Roger has a two sided spear, it is a realization that the boys in Jack's tribe are going to do to him what was done to the sow.

In Lord of the Flies What do they do with the sharpened stick?
Well, they use the first sharpened stick to put the pig's head on. They don't actually do anything with the second stick, but they planned to kill Ralph and stick him on there, just like the Lord of the Flies. Luckily for him, the naval officer came and the suspenseful chase through the woods is ended.
What does the pig's head on the stick symbolize?
It was homage to the beast and this, being the Lord of the Flies later, is related to the devil. Lord of the flies in Hebrew has a similar name to Beelzebub, which is the devil. It signifies that the devil is all part of us, when he says he is part of them to Simon during one of his seizures.
In Lord of the Flies what does Simon discover about the ape-like beast?
