1Opinion of the CourtStacy, C. J.

This is one of the border-line eases. It is not easy of decision. Procedural considerations may tip the beam in favor of affirmance. The findings of the Industrial Commission, when supported by competent evidence, are conclusive on appeal. Buchanan v. Highway Com., 217 N. C., 173, 7 S. E. (2d), 382; Carlton v. Bernhardt-Seagle Co., 210 N. C., 655, 188 S. E., 77. Likewise, the presumption against error is invoked by the plaintiff as an aid to his position. Cole v. R. R., 211 N. C., 591, 191 S. E., 353; Gold v. Kiker, 218 N. C., 204, 10 S. E. (2d), 650.

There is evidence to support the findings…
