Americus Plan Seeks Hotel and Bagging Factory Alliance Compromise
Americus Manufacturing and Improvement Company and the Alliance of Sumter county agreed on a plan to utilize the old court house lot for a $100,000 hotel, contingent on the county selling the property for $5,000 and the Improvement Company backing a cotton bagging factory.
