My personal opinion is you should change you distribution if you want "bleeding edge" sofwtares. CentOS seems not fit this game.
Emacs 24 is not "bleeding edge." It is a released product. Version 24.1 was released June 10, 2012.
Incidentally, it's not exactly friendly to new users who ask "How do I do x?" to reply "Go away; you're not wanted." Trust me to know my own needs better than you do.
