CULLEN, Commissioner.

Claude Mays sought an award from the Workmen's Compensation Board against his employer, the Homer Brown Coal Company, allowing compensation for total permanent disability. The board denied compensation, on the ground that Mays' disability was attributable to pre-existing disease. On appeal to the circuit court, judgment was entered reversing the board and directing that compensation be awarded. The employer has appealed from that judgment.
