Stukes, Justice
(concurring in result).
I concur in the result of the opinion of Mr. Justice Taylor although it is in conflict with the prevailing opinion in Miller v. Springs Cotton Mills, 225 S. C. 326, 82 S. E. (2d) 458, in which I joined. The award of compensation in the case in hand was reversed by the circuit court subsequently to the rendition of the order with which the instant appeal is concerned, and appeal is pending from the judgment reversing the award. Therefore, financial hardship may ensue to the employer and the insurance carrier, but I have concluded that a fair construction of the statute as written admits of that result.
Oxner, J., concurs.
