No. 25949 (S.C. Sup. Ct. filed March 7, 2005) (Shearouse Adv. Sh. No. 11 at 37) (holding circuit courts have subject matter jurisdiction to try criminal matters and questions of the insufficiency of an indictment not affecting the subject matter jurisdiction of the trial court may not be raised for the first time on appeal). 

AFFIRMED.
