Page 8 News Oct. 4, 2001 Commandments To Go Up in Courthouse DANBURY Stokes County officials have voted to display the Ten Com mandments inside the county courthouse. A plaque bearing the com mandments and other historical documents will be hung in the lobby of the Stokes County Courthouse sometime this fall. Officials said that they want to be careful to model the display after two in Wilkes County, which settled a lawsuit earlier this year. The American Civil Liberties Union argued that the display of the Ten Commandments by them selves was an unconstitutional violation of the separation of church and state. The command ments now are displayed in Wilkes County buildings along with historical documents includ ing the Declaration of Indepen dence and the Magna Carta. A public hearing on the issue is scheduled at the commission ers’ next meeting on Oct. 15.

Liquor Tax May Hurt Sales CHARLOTTE Liquor store managers said that North Carolina’s new tax on alcohol could hurt sales and send customers out-of-state in search of lower prices. Directors of local Alcoholic Beverage Control boards along the South Carolina border said that they’re worried that the price hikes caused by the tax will make customers cross the state line. Liquor prices are lower in South Carolina, and that state will have the added attraction of a lottery. Bill Hester, chief executive manager of the Mecklenburg County ABC Board, estimated the new six percent sales tax will cut liquor sales by $3 million a year. That translates to five per cent of last year’s revenues. In February, the state is cutting the excise tax on liquor by three percentage points to partially off set the sales tax.
