Central line from Americus to Savannah promised and debated
A Savannah newspaper reports strong belief the Central road will build a direct Americus to Savannah line, with two parallel routes from Columbus, avoiding interference with existing traffic. The shorter line would boost tonnage, timber and naval store traffic, and connect Kansas City, New York and Liverpool trade, while strengthening Americas' market position and fuel supplies. Local leaders stress early surveys, cost comparisons, and the city’s growth through prior road projects as motivation for action. Capt Jackson may oppose Grimes for Congress, backed by the State Alliance.
