Dispensary Law Declared Unconstitutional by South Carolina Supreme Court
The South Carolina Supreme Court in a three member decision ruled the state dispensary law unconstitutional. Chief Justice McIver and Associate Justice McGowan concur while Associate Justice Pope dissented. They view the law as a revenue measure, not police regulation, and thus unconstitutional. The piece critiques courts and ties the decision to whiskey interests, warning of powerful monopolies influencing justice. It urges readers to monitor advertising for opportunities in livestock and related sales.
