County Convention.
The Democratic county convention
met in the court house last Jrlonday morning
at eleven o'clock. The meeting was
called to order by H. C. Folk, county
chairman. The following officers were
elected: H. C. Folk, president; J. C.
McMillan, 1st vice president; J. B. Guess,
2nd vice president; C. B. Free, secretary;
J. B. Black, treasurer.
H. C. Folk was re-elected county chairman
for the next two years. J. B. Black
was elected as member of the State executive
committee for this county.
The following were elected delegates
to the State convention: J. C. McMillan, I
E. T. LaFitte, R. W. D. Rowell, G. E.J
TTnt.tr>. ft. ,T. Hiers. Jno. F. Folk. The
delegates were to select their own alter- j
nates. The following resolution was offered
by W. L. Riley and seconded by a
half dozen or more. It was unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, we have seen with regret the
efforts of the tax department of our government
to increase the valuation of
property and thereby increase the burden
of taxation, already too heavy, be it resolved
:
That we do hereby express our disapproval
of the policy, and pledge ourselves
to do what we can to defeat it. J
There was not a large attendance of
delegates, and the position of delegates
to the State cc mention almost went begging
so we understand. The Herald man
had to be present at another meeting and
could not attend the convention.

THE PALACE OF DOOM
STRANGE LEGEND OF A MYSTERIOUS
STATUE IN ROME.
It Pointed the Way to a Scene of
Silent and Dazzling Splendor?The
Fate of the Man Who Solved the
Enigma of the Finger 31essage.
Tliere stood in Rome many ages ago
a beautiful marble statue the mystery
of which attracted the attention of all
the wise men from far and near. Nobody
could remember when it had been
erected, and nobody knew what it
meant.
It was the figure of a woman, tall,
strong and supple. She stood erect,
with her right arm outstretched, her
mantle falling in graceful folds about
her figure, on her face a look, half
smile, half frown, luring, yet appealing,
but always holding the observer
by a strange feeling that it roused of
mystery, glory and horror.
But even all that, written so clearly
I in the mystic signs that art uses, might
I have been overlooked by the people
had it not been for a more material
puzzle presented by the statue. On the
third finger of the outstretched hand
was written in unfading letters, "Strike
here." And therein lay the mystery.
Years came and went, and wise men
puzzled their brains to find the secret
Seers from faroff lands came to Rome,
attracted by the statue, and still it
stood, mute, cold, Inexplicable.
One day a young man stood before
it. He had grown up with the idea of
solving the mystery, and each day
since he was a little child he had come
for a few moments and stood silently
gazing at the strange countenance.
He had learned to love the face, the
wise lips that looked as if they might
part and tell the secret that ages had
yearned to know, but through these
ages only he had been sincere in his
search. Faithful through all disappointments
he had gained strength and
wisdom, and now as he stood before the
statue the sun, halfway up the eastern
sky, shone full upon the Image.
A strange thrill passed through the
man, and, looking in the direction indicated
by the pointing finger, he saw,
some yards away, tlie shadow of the
outstretched hand on the ground. He
gave a low cry, and, after noting the
spot well, he departed.
That night at midnight he went to
the place and began to dig in the
ground where the shadow of the hand
had fallen. A long time he worked,
never ceasing his digging, when suddenly
his spade struck something hard.
Then his zeal increased, and, clearing
a space, he saw beneath him a trapdoor,
with a great stone ring. Grasping
the ring he pulled open the door
and started back, dazzled, for a flood
of light burst upon him from out of
the depths.
Quickly recovering, the young man
looked again and beheld a wide marble
staircase descending from the trapdoor.
Throwing down his spade he
passed through the door, down the
steps and found himself in a vast hall.
The floor of this room was of marble,
pure white, while the walls and celling
were of the same material in many
colors. The huge pillars upholding the
vast dome shone like alabaster. Rare
paintings hung upon the walls, and
rich rugs lay strewn upon the floor.
In the center of the room a fountain
stood. The water in Its basin ^vas as
pure as ^rystal, but not a ripple stirred
its surface, and no pleasant lapping
charmed the ear as it does when water
falls from on high, for, though the
fountain was apparently perfect, no
water rose from it to fall again.
On seats running around this silent
fountain were many men in rich brocades
and costly fur robes. Lifelike
they looked, but to the touch they were
as marble. It was as if in the midst of
life death had come and petrified these
beings in mockery.
Around on tables and benches were
scattered piles of gold and precious
gems. Delicate enameled vases and
swords inlaid with gems added their
wealth to the place.
But rarest of all the gems was a
great carbuncle, which stood in a corner
of the room and from which came
the sole light by which the place was
relieved from darkness. In the corner
opposite to this stone stood an archer,
his bow bent, his arrow on the string,
aimed at the carbuncle. On his bow,
shining with reflected light, were the
words:
"I am that I am. My shaft is inevitable.
Yon glittering jewel cannot
escape its stroke."
As he looked on all this in silent wonder
the young Roman heard a voice utter
one word?"Beware!"
. Then he passed into the next room
and found it fitted up as magnificently
as the one he had just left All manner
of couches were about this room,
and reclining on them were wonderfully
beautiful women. But their lips
were sealed in this place of silence.
From there he passed on, finding
many more wonders?rooms filled with
treasures of art, stables filled with fine
horses, granaries filled with forage.
Everything that could make a palace
complete was there.
The young Eoman returned to the
hall.
"I have here seen," he said, "what
no man will believe. I know that of
this wealth I should take nothing, but
to prove to them that I speak truth can
be no harm."
Then he took In his arms a jeweled
sword and some rare vases, but suddenly
all was dark.
The charm was broken. The arrow
had left the bow and shattered the carbuncle
into a thousand pieces. Pitch
darkness overspread the place.
Then the young man remembered the
warning, but too late. And there he
probably adds one more to the silent
watchers in the magic chamber.
Has this story a moral? Let those
answer who hays eyes to see.
