UITextAlignmentCenter is deprecated. You should use the following:

labelOne.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;

I think what you are trying to do is: Something like this..

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    firstLabel.frame = cell.frame; // or reconfigure your frame or some reason(i dont know)
    firstLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
    secondLabel.hidden = YES;
}

you want you text from the firstLabel to be at the center of the cell?
