Tillman Discusss Dispensary Bill Blocked in Rules Committee
A heated session in Speaker Reed's Capitol room saw Senator Tillman fail to persuade the committee on rules to grant a special order for his South Carolina dispensary bill this session. Elliott Bryan Latimer and others argued the measure lacked justification beyond defying federal court rulings. Tillman pressed the case, citing state rights and prohibition support, but the committee, after tense exchanges, postponed action for further judiciary review. Tillman warned of delaying tariff votes in a later Senate remark.
